The National Championship Party Sponsored by Southern Comfort 100 Proof
Last night the World Series of Poker National Championship qualifiers and guests were treated to a special party sponsored by Southern Comfort 100 Proof. Held on the steamboat Natchez, guests enjoyed dinner, music and free drinks while taking a night tour of the mighty Mississippi River.
Among the players in attendance were tournament director Jack Effel, Vanessa Selbst, Doug "Rico" Carli, Nancy Birnbaum, Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul, Matt Glantz, Allen Bari, Rep Porter and Kyle Julius, just to name a few.
We even saw one of the Massey brothers there. When we asked Aaron, who qualified via an at-large bid, where his brother Ralph was, he simply responded, "He didn't want to come and be asked how many points he had."
Needless to say, Ralph didn't have enough to qualify. Despite his absence, a good time was had by all before most called it an early night to get some rest for today's event.
