The latest Tournament of the Elite was a huge success thanks to everyone who came out, and come out nightly, to support EPC!!  It is always an amazing day!

Tampa represented again, but it wasn't a blow out.  Our final table was evenly split between areas, and everyone was at the top of their game! After a 2 hour final table here are the winners:

1st place - Matt Horner
2nd place - Jacob Saparito
3rd place - Michael Vaccaro
4th place - Jim Mitchell
5th place - Thomas Borella
6th place - Aaron Wise
7th place - Frank Izquierdo
8th place - Amber Boone

We would like to thank all of you for playing and making Elite Poker the best poker company in the Tampa Bay area!

Any player can call with any 2 cards.  If you think that this is cheating, please find a card room in the world that says otherwise.  If you get upset about a call made against you or any other player, please find an adult way to deal with it, as foul language toward another player will not be tolerated at ANY venue for ANY reason.  A player may use his/her chips as they feel fit, no matter your opinion of their play. Thank You!
