Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament
Four tables of eight players enjoyed a great time at the tournament. The two players with the highest hands of the day were Tony Canfora (QQQQA) and Harry Sera (QQQQ7). The promotional hand was also won by Tony Canfora.
The final table players were Tony Canfora, Harry Sera, Daniel Galliani and John Burns. There was plenty of action at the table, with Galliani going out first in fourth place, and Canfora followed in third.
Sera and Burns battled for first place. In the winning hand, the flop came Q, K, 7. Sera went all-in with J10 and Burns called with AQ. The turn was a 5, and the river was a 10. That gave John the winning hand of QQ.
Burns has lived in Leisure World and been a member of the club for 1.5 years. He also enjoys other activities in LW, like pool, pickleball, ping pong and golf. Another of his hobbies is Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
