Big Hairy Dog loves to hear about the successes of all our employees and family members outside of the achievements of BHD. Nate Page, husband of Karen Page, BHD Sales Rep., recently came home a Big Winner from the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas, NV.
Nate began his poker playing with friendly games with his brother-in-law. The two of them started a leaque and the players agreed to save all earnings to send the top winner to the World Series of Poker.
Last year, in 2008, the league sent one player to WSOP. This year, however, the league was able to send two players. Nate and one other league player flew to Las Vegas and entered Event #51 (No Limit Hold ‘em), with a $1,500 buy-in, which included air fare and hotel.
The event consisted of 3 days of poker playing, running into the early morning hours. Out of nearly 3,000 entries, Nate made it to the final table of 9 players. Even though he was the first to leave the final table, he left with winnings of just over $81,000.
Big Hairy Dog was rooting for Nate throughout the tournament, and followed his progess as he made his way to the final table. Congratulations, Nate!! Big Hairy Dog is excited and happy for you!!
