Congrats to Ron Fahner

Ron Fahner came in 2nd place
(of 130+) at the Red Hot Poker Tour's
TOC event a couple weeks ago.
Ron won entry to a $1500 WSOP event.

Many of you will remember Ron
as a very solid player from the
Poker In Canada & Premier Poker
Tour events in London.

PokerStars WBCOOP

I just qualified for the Championship Final

of the WBCOOP at pokerstars this sunday.

At the first break, I was in 2nd or 3rd and

decided to more or less just sit on my

chips and wait for about 400 more players

to bust out.

I figured the tourny would just stop when

we got to 72 players (top 72 received

entry to the final). It kept going, and so

did I, despite having nothing really to play for.

Finished 6th out of 559 horses.

I might play a couple of the other events

just for practice.
