AIPS III, Event #3, Champion: lj47
Congratulations to lj47, who wins the third AIPS III banana as champion of the No-Limit Hold'em event, which drew 143 entrants.
lj47, who had been scraping the bottom of the poker life barrel when it got three-handed, rallied to river a third 10 against runner-up Dante1126's pair of Aces to win the title. Congrats to everyone who made the final table!

Congrats li47 on the Banana win! Also, thanks very much to Chuck for putting together the Tourney Stats website at http://anteup.seitz333.com/, it's really awesome.
Will the tournament of champions be held after AIPS 3 concludes? =)

Good job LJ47. I went out very early. I am thinking that I might just suck at this poker thing. I am thinking of having a big UNO tournament, anyone dare to play me?
