15 minutes

Just a quick congrats to Paul "The Gimmick" Featherstone for making it to the FTP Poker After Dark Dream Table. I played a tourney with him last night. Interesting to see that he is a low limits grinder that had a good run for "15 minutes". Too bad for him he couldn't keep more of the $25K he initially won. Good luck going pro, dude! Click on his name if you want to see clips from the show.
