Alson, Moreno and Rooney Amongst Those Spotted in Brasilia Room
Over here in the Brasilia Room, we've browsed through the Gold and Silver sections to find the following players.
Alson is a notable author and President at United States Poker Federation. Of the books Alson has written, the most interesting to the poker audience would be One of a Kind: The Rise and Fall of Stuey ',The Kid', Ungar, The World's Greatest Poker Player, which he co-authored with the great World Series of Poker Media Director Nolan Dalla and MIke Sexton.
If the last name Moreno rings a bell, that's because it's our very own Kristy Arnett's true married name, and Andrew Moreno is her husband. He's seated to the direct left of Chip Jett, a long time poker professional.
Then you have Bobby Rooney. Although he may not be a household name just yet in poker, Rooney is coming off an impressive third-place finish in Event #1: $500 Casino Employees No-Limit Hold'em. This event had a whopping 898 players and was won by PokerNews' own Chad Holloway. Rooney earned for $33,903 for his result.
