Florida Teen Wins Poker Tournament while Haiti Deals with Quake
Haiti, one of the most impoverished countries in the Western Hemisphere, is dealing with death, destruction and the effects of years of bad building practices. There is no doubt that better building standards and more share the wealth could have reduced the amount of death and destruction that resulted as a result of the recent earthquake.
But, even as the world community rushes aid and resources to help Haiti, life goes on. While Haiti continues to deal with poverty, a Florida teen has won $2.2 million in the recent Poker Stars tournament held in the Bahamas.
Harrison “gibler321″ Gimbel bested a 1,529-strong field from 57 countries after winning his seat into the $10,000 no limit hold’em tournament in a $1,000 satellite held the night before the event started.
Not bad for a 19-year old that dropped out from his first year of college in September.
