Lucky Dinner with Edler

For a poker player, luck may be defined by how often your aces hold up. For a reporter, luck is scoring interesting dinner break company. Dinner with Bill Edler is like making an inside straight draw.

Edler recently won the Heads-Up Championship at the Crystal Park Casino. But he said that the victory also had its costs. The next tournament he played was Rincon where he said he just couldn't make the adjustment from his heads-up frame of mind. He said, "I played way too cute. I assumed my opponents had nothing; which is a predictably dangerous assumption at a full table." Luckily, Edler has reclaimed his full table mojo and is sitting with a stack of 369,000 here at the Commerce; a stack he is looking forward to wield as the bubble approaches.
