AIPS II Main Event Champion: JLBSox
Congratulations to JLBSox, who wins the final and most important AIPS II banana as champion of the Double Stack No-Limit Hold;em event, which drew 90 entrants.
JLBSox won the last hand against Turley11, when his J-9 paired on the flop to catch up to Turley's A-9. Congrats to the entire final table. We're eagerly awaiting the official winner's envelope from Gambit to announce the AIPS II Player of the Year.
Bounties go to:
- acumen53 (Scott "OffDeadline" 19th place - that's right - it took a WSOP Main Event Final Tabler to tame this bad boy ... and on a suckout no less)
- bill_celtic (Fasso "stpetebeach" 32nd place)
- Torquenada Jr (Chris "willhopper" 58th place)
- ornycjv (Columbo "columbo" 87th place)

- SCOTT
Christopher Cosenza is co-host of the longest running poker podcast on the planet, Ante Up! He started playing poker seriously in 2003 and his favorite players are Phil Ivey and Kenna James, though he tends to act like Phil Hellmuth if you make a bad play against him.
Scott Long, Ante Up!'s other co-host, is the author of the monthly Bet on It column in tbt*. He began gambling way too young (don't tell the fuzz!) and in the seventh grade, named his state "Gambleland" for a school project (State Animal? Loan shark, of course).
I knocked out Columbo, I sent you an email with the HH
