We’ve seen players come from around the country and even some from outside the states, Luiz Duarte notable among them as the Brazilian finished second in Event 3.

South Florida is a fine place to spend the holiday weekend and get in some cards. We found a couple friends from the Northeast down here for the big tournament.

Both Guy Ciccioni and Gerry Aiello have big results in the northern climes but searching for their first Hollywood title. Welcome to the Sunshine State.
