Andy Slater Looks to Put on Show Here in May Deep Stack Series
If you’re from South Florida and like sports radio talk shows, then there’s a good chance you’re familiar with Andy Slater, who is in action today here on Day 1c of the 2019 Seminole Hard Rock May Deep Stack Poker Series $350 Deep Stack NLH.
Slater hosts The Andy Slater Show on 640-AM WMEN and iHeartRadio. He’s also an on-air personality and is often in the thick of big stories such as breaking Tiger Woods’ 2017 DUI arrest in Palm Beach, the unfortunate boat accident death of Miami Marlins player Jose Fernandez, and reporting NFL star Jason Pierre-Paul’s fireworks accident that caused him to lose several fingers.
As it happens, Slater is also a poker aficionado with $55,482 in live tournament earnings. That includes a career-best $13,982 for finishing 16th in the 2009 World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah’s New Orleans $5,000 Main Event. More recently he finished 16th in the 2018 Wynn Spring Classic Championship for $13,623.
He also hosts The Andy Slater “See You Later” Poker Tournament every month at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek. That event costs just $100 to enter and features a $15,000 guarantee. Here’s a look at the flyer from last week’s event.
Slater, who can be found on Twitter @AndySlater, is off to a good start here on Day 1c currently sitting on a stack of 90,000.
