Family is Everything for This Poker Player
Poker isn't everything, and local grinder Clint Houck knows this.
That's why every time the Maryland resident wins a tournament and gets a winner's photo, he is sure to hold up a picture of his kids on his phone.
"My kids are like my biggest fans, my beautiful wife too," Houck told PokerNews. "So I like to hold up a picture of them sometimes, if I win a tournament. So it's kind of fun, get to go home and brag to the kids a little bit."
The family man from Lusby estimates that he's won nearly a dozens events here at MGM National Harbor in Maryland.
"I've been competing here for about 3 years, and I think I've probably gotten maybe about 11th (wins). A lot of them are dailies, but, some of them (are) larger events."
One of those victories was in a RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) $300 Bounty ring event that earned him $5,686.
We'll keep an eye on Houck this series and see if he's able to get his kids in another's winners photo — despite them not being old enough to enter a casino.
