For those that may not know it, our own Parker Binion is rocking the tournament circuit. First he recently finished 5th in PokerStars $500,000 Guaranteed tournament (out of 3,725 contestants).
He scored another huge victory 2 weeks ago when he played in the Oklahoma Johnny Hale Open (307 entrants at $500+50 each). He won first place and took home over $20,000 in cash in addition to winning a seat in this week's $25,000 WPT Bellagio 5-Star Poker tournament.
The tournament started today and Parker survived Day 1 and has about 65,000 in chips (average). Every pro you've ever heard of is playing in this tournament (which will be the season finale of the WPT).

I also know some of the guys who regularly read this thing are planning on playing in some of the smaller WSOP tourneys in July and I bet they will all do well... go go Houston poker!
