I'm in Vegas for a couple of weeks because of all the tournament action here.

There's the Five Star World Poker Classic at Belaggio, where I played the $3k event on Friday but didn't finish in the money. Meanwhile, the Venetian is running another Deep Stack event, where I just walked away with the title in a $550 buy-in tournament with just under 300 players. Anytime you play a tournament, you have to win your share of races, but I lost 7 of 9 races in this one and still managed to make it to the final table and become chip leader till the end.

That's a good start to April, with lots more to come. Stay tuned.

Dennis' outstanding performance in the 2008 World Series of Poker -- third place in the main event -- has earned him a lot of fans, a lot of cash, and a lot of media attention. More importantly, it allowed him to bring awareness to several charities that are close to his heart. Dennis began playing poker in 2004, and he plays exclusively online at PokerStars.
