Default Article local paper wrote about me

Just thought it would be cool to post this. The reporter did a good job for the amount of space he had, though I wish he included a key hand or two (I supplied him with my trip report). Also, he only hints at it in the article, but my dad thinks he can beat me on any given day, even though he never plays. lol. Anyway, here's the link.

I like that they called a straight flush the highest hand in poker.

Finally, the game offers a chance to make some money. Burns certainly has. Shortly after learning to play, he deposited $50 at an online poker site. In the ensuing three years, that initial investment has yielded more than $55,000 and counting.
