I have to give a big shout out to some fellow Oklahomans who are burning up the felt out there in Sin City at the World Series of Poker. Five of them are from right here in Norman! I've said it before - Jordan Morgan is someone to keep an eye on. Look out for Ben Armstrong, too, and if it's televised, you'll see an Okie heads up at the final table of the 2K Shorthanded No Limit Shootout where Charlie Sewell took second.
Multiple cashes:
Event Rank Name City 21 2.5K SHNL 15 Jordan Morgan Norman 26a 1.5K PLO 25 Jordan Morgan Norman 27 1.5K NL 7 Jordan Morgan Norman 14 1K NL RB 43 Ben Armstrong Tulsa 22 2K NL 18 Ben Armstrong Tulsa 31 2K NL 47 Ben Armstrong Tulsa 26a 1.5K PLO 21 Berry Johnston Bethany 37 1.5K NL 108 Berry Johnston Bethany 2 1.5K NL 265 Charles Sewell OKC 25 2K SHNL 2 Charles Sewell OKC
Individual cashes - and look at the Okie women! I would like to have seen my name in the list, but I'll just have to wait another year:
Event Rank Name City 2 1.5K NL 41 Tony Lay Moore 3 1.5K PLO 12 Ben Lamb Tulsa 5 2.5K SHNL 62 Jeffrey Lim Guymon 6 2K NL 32 Noah Nodine Norman 6 2K NL 129 Jerry Dixon Guymon 11 1.5K Limit 8 Bob Bartman Stillwater 13 2.5K NL 85 Jimmy Smiyj Norman 15 1K Ladies NL 15 Donita Fey Clinton 15 1K Ladies NL 53 Joanne Pham Bene OKC 15 1K Ladies NL 71 Star Wunch Norman 15 1K Ladies NL 77 Tana Washington Watts 15 1K Ladies NL 82 Connie Kelsey Broken Arrow 17 1K NL 235 Don Bielli Broken Arrow 19 1K Seniors 87 Keith Burt Midwest City 27 1.5K NL 92 Aaron Rupert Norman
Congratulations, Sooners! I'll do my best to keep track of any Okies in the Main Event. I know Jordan will be there - he won an entry online - and I expect he'll do well.
To my media pals out there - watch out for an Oklahoma tornado or two to blow everyone away at the tables!!
