Judge Leo and Wyatt Boothe
Level 4
: 200/300, 300 ante
Wyatt Boothe just graduated with a marketing degree from LSU and is in the process of looking for a job.
He now has some free time to drive his dad, Judge Leo Boothe to poker tournaments. The two both play and they are both in the field today.
In fact, they are both at the same table. Judge Boothe is all anyone calls the elder Boothe.
"Thurmand Booth is my legal name," he said. "For one hundred years my mother and I were the only ones in the world who knew that."
Judge Boothe has three separate online profiles and a total of $454,795 in career tournament winnings.
He is a retired judge who also raised cows and says he worked 100 hours a week. He also says he probably plays about 100 hours a week now.
Both Boothe's are in the field and enjoying themselves early on Day 1a of the RGPS Main Event
