Hollywood woman wins Le Batard tournament
Cathy Abbott of Hollywood took the winner’s trophy Wednesday night in the Dan Le Batard Celebrity Poker Tournament at Dania Jai-Alai.
The tournament drew over 200 poker players despite game one of the World Series and the Miami Heat opener. Buy-in was $50.
The final four players decided to “chop” the pot equally giving each player $1,381. Abbott (pictured with 790 The Ticket's Mike Ryan -- congrats on making the blog) was the chip leader and was awarded the tournament trophy.
By my stats, it's the first Le Batard female winner in the history of the tournament, which is about a year old. I think she's a regular at Dania, but I am not sure. Anyone know?
Dania Jai-Alai’s cardroom is open Sundays through Thursdays from noon to midnight, Friday and Saturdays from noon to 2 a.m. The fronton is located at 301 E. Dania Beach Blvd in Dania Beach.
