Level 7
: 300/600, 50 ante
A player in early position opened for 1,500 and Alex Outhred reraised to 4,200. It was folded back to the big blind who called, leaving himself with approximately 9,000 behind. The original raiser folded and we were off to a flop of

Outhred would have even better reason to smile after the dealer flipped over the

From Bar League to Aruba, The Story of the PPC
Level 6
: 200/400, 25 ante
What started out as two friends running poker tournaments in bars has blossomed into an up and coming poker tour that only has bigger and brighter days ahead of it.
"My partner Bryan Oulton started running some bar leagues back in 2005 and I joined forces with him and we built the business together over the next five years," PPC co-commissioner Sandy Swartzbaugh said. "We partnered up with a major Florida casino and in 2010 we started working on the Aruba idea and the PPC was formed soon after."
"People like playing our tournaments because of the allure of the lower buy-ins for our Main Events," Swartzbaugh added. "That and the potential to win a trip to Aruba and a pokercation where they get to go to a beautiful tropical island and play poker with the 2012 World Poker Tour Player of the Year, Joe Serock."
"We're only growing. We'll be adding stops all over the country in 2015 and things are only going to get bigger and better for the PPC."
