| Eight feet of poker table was slid into the back of a pickup truck today. We kept the memories, lost a pain to haul around. |

Look at those arms. An obvious
choice for a poker table home. |
When you're parting with a bulky sentimental item, it's always good to know it's going to a good home. In 2005, at the height of the Texas Hold' Em craze, Stan built this table top for his wife, St. Paul Katie. Many home games were played around it, lots of memories and bad beats and money changing hands. But interest in the game has faded, and it became hard to gather a group big enough to sit around the table to play poker. Of course, Katie's interest never waned, she still enjoys the game at a variety of venues. Nevertheless, we sadly advertised the tabletop for sale during our present down-sizing effort. And what do you know? Among the bidders was Brian B., a professional poker player from South St. Paul, who has taken to offering home games during this pandemic, with Las Vegas games and his livelihood shut down. Brian assures us that the home games on this additional table will start up immediately, with local poker players galore ready to shuffle up and deal! He promises some photos of enthusiastic players gathered around the homemade poker table. Socially distant, of course.
