One of our own had an outstanding finish in the Emerald Downs Ultimate Qualifier held Sunday, July 25. MV (Mike) McKee and his wife Kathy were both at the tournament. I had the pleasure to meet both of them prior to the beginning of the tourney. They are very nice people, but that's not all. They are also good handicappers. Kathy, who had to scratch into the tourney (tourney limited to 400 players), finished in the TOP 9, winning a spot in the big event to be held in Vegas.
I didn't do so well, but had a very good time. I hit a nice 7/1 shot in the 10th at Emerald to finish up slightly for the day. It would have been a very good day had I chosed Daunting (2nd choice) instead of the nag I went with at a higher price.
Interestingly enough, I sat next to an MSNBC columnist by the name of Mike Brunker throughout the tournament. I don't know if anybody is familiar with his work, but he writes columns regarding the internet, including some on internet gambling.
All in all, it was a fun day and a very nice day for Kathy.
