The Creators
Shawn & Jodi Pittman
One Badass.
One Femme Fatale.
We’ll let you decide who’s who.
Don Williams
We can’t decide if he’s a better dealer or player.
Either way he’s a force to be reckoned with.
A lot of our players ask, “We have a big field but only three prizes?” Here’s the scoop:
We want to make sure poker is as beneficial to our hosts as it is to us! They graciously give us three prizes every night we come together to play poker. BUT…
If anyone brings an additional donated prize, I am happy to add it to either that game or a subsequent game to increase the prize pool! (And qualifiers!) 🤘
See you at the tables!! ✊ ... See MoreSee Less
