Lexy Gavin and Bob Mather got engaged back in early June, and for the first time as an engaged couple, they’ve cashed in the same poker tournament.

They were seated at the same table two spots away from the money when this photo was taken, and thankfully, they both cashed so it doesn’t feel awkward to post this.

Unfortunately, Mather was eliminated in 16th place, so it’ll be up to Gavin to make the final table for Team Mather-Gavin, and bring home the trophy and the first prize of $12,760.

Lexy Gavin  –  197,000  (20 bb)
