Once again the Oregon Poker Tour headed to the house of co-founder Luke Shortridge, this time on the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving.  Ten players gathered around and put in $2.50 in order to win a cool $25.  Who would walk home with all of the money, leaving the other player behind left with only thanks to give?

The Winner (Game #1):

Co-founder Luke Shortridge

Wanting another shot at glory and fame, six OPT players put in $1.00 at a chance to call themselves a champion.

       

The Winner (Game #2):

Co-founder Luke Shortridge

Luke wanted more action, and so did most of the other players.  Some paid with their last dollar, others borrowed one from Co-founder on a winning streak.  Now, $5 went up for grabs as the fatigue factor started setting in.

   

The Winner (Game #3):

Co-founder Luke Shortridge, (yes, that's his hand).

Wanting to play more, Luke put up all of his winnings from the last game against the same players, giving them all a free shot at taking his money away from him.

The Winner (Game #4):

Josh Cowen

Josh stepped up to the plate and swiped the $5 pot Luke had just won away from him.
