Yesterday, I turned in my resignation as Tournament Manager for the WSOP. I will be reg the WSOPCE effective March 1, 2012. I will be the Tournament Director at the circuit events at Choctaw, Tunica, and Palm Beach.This decision was based solely on the fact that I want to spend more time with my wife, 3 daughters and my first grandchild that was born this morning. I want to than Ken Lambert (First Poker room manager that had enough confidence in me to promote me to Tournament Directors of Horseshoe), Jack McClelland (For teaching me all the ins and outs of directing Major Tnmts), Jack Effel (For allowing me to be Poker Manager at the WSOP), All the staff and dealers that work for PTC (For their hard work, dedication), and a special thanks to all of the players that have ed me and PTC.
