The Steinhorn Stare

Congratulation to my best friend (of 25 years) for winning the $2500 Bellagio Cup III No-Limit Hold’em event that completed today. Ezra started the final table today in seventh place, and after a rough start (he was in last place with 7 players remaining) made a spectacular run to capture a Bellagio gold bracelet and $70,000.

Ezra went into heads-up with a 2:1 chip disadvantage to Rene Angelil (Celine Dion’s husband). As a heads-up specialist (he plays online heads-up “shootouts” about 30 hours a week), Ezra was in strong position to overcome the deficit, and did in just about 45 minutes.

I can’t say I’m not a little jealous that Ezra won a major event before me, but he certainly deserves it…congrats Ez!!!
