***UGARTE EXCLUSIVE --- MUST CREDIT UGARTE!!! ***
This is only an exclusive until Joaquin posts his recap. (And it’s up. Thanks for all the shout-outs, Joaquin.) It is safe to say he didn’t get the story from me:
Fighting his way through a 70+ person field, Joaquin “The Rooster” Ochoa takes first prize at a freeroll in a SoHo poker room. First prize: a $2300 flat-screen plasma TV.
I bubbled out before the final table, finishing in 11th. For my troubles I won, approximately, a piece of crap. (UPDATE: I’ll post some tourney stuff later, including some more background on some of Joaquin’s more interesting hands.)
