Monday Night Poker
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
Jeff Tebben's been playing poker since 2013 when he started Monday Night Poker, a poker league in Kansas City which includes four WSOP bracelet winners.
"We call it the toughest forty-dollar home game in the country."
Tebben, Blair and Grant Hinkle, and James Mackey are all part of the Monday Night Poker league, which Tebben says started when the group decided they wanted a reason to get together, play poker, and watch football.
Tebben works in sales and says it's not that exciting and, as Julie Cornelius pointed out, infamously check-raise bluffed William Watcher in the WSOP Main Event to leave him short before he eventually busted. Watcher was the oldest player to cash the Main Event at age 94.
