Our friend Ian Durias has posted some pics from the Aces & Queens Invitational Charity Poker Tourney that I participated in last Sat. Take a moment and have some fun checking them out at: http://ace-queen.blogspot.com/

This is me standing behind Annie during the clinic, I'm the dark shape with the glasses reflecting by the window. In the photo gallery the 2nd pic is Ian and Annie. The tables were set up in two adjacent lofts in a renovated warehouse, a trend in that part of Portland so you'll notice the large pillars, high ceilings with piping and industrial style windows. Very stylish and an exciting part of town. I seem to have ended up in a couple of table play pictures as well! I was lucky enough to win the first pot at our table. I found pocket fives one off the button with three limpers ahead of me at T20 each. Raised to T140 and got at least 2 callers. Flop was rainbow rags except... for another five! Check, check, I made it T100 to go and got one caller and got another T100 from this nice young lady before I got the very nice pot with my set. Presto! Had a great time and these were some very nice folks. BTW, is that Marcel Luske at the end of the photo gallery?

Here's my post about this event from Sat. in case you missed it. http://www.thechipboard.com/cgi-bin/tcb/tcb.pl?noframes;read=364598
