April 23 2004
With only two weeks remaining in
April, Co-founder Dugan sat happily at the top of the OPT Leaderboard. As
the players gathered at the house of Jerry
Pickering for another night of Texas Hold 'em, Dugan's lead was only a scant
few dollars over Josh Cowan. Co-founder Shortridge also wasn't that far off
of the pace, as a $30 victory would bolt him right back in the thick of it.
However, new players into the OPT has also started to make waves; Cory and
Silas had both gained their second victories at the pervious week's game and
had attempted to force their way to the top. This night, fifteen people gathered
to attempt to gain their placement on the OPT Leaderboard, and win over $30
in the first place.
