Susan takes another Chicago poker title - Experience 17

Susan is now two for two in tournament poker in Chicago. She recently won the challenging HELO-5 tournament in the open division of the Chicago Poker Grand Championship. In HELO-5 you alternate between Texas Hold 'Em, Lowball (lowest hand wins), Omaha, and 5 card stud. It's pretty challenging (and also a lot of fun) moving from game to game as they each have their own rules and strategies. Although she was already qualified for the Chicago Poker Hall of Fame with her last win, this victory really seals the deal! We just hope her World Series of Poker backers in Athens are taking note!

Congratulations, Susan! We are observing from a distance, while gathering pennies for the big trip. We're thinking of hiring Britney Spears's bodyguard for you, though; we think he can protect your money better than Harold.
