Some of Weber Avenue's Poker's Own, Rubbing Elbows with Poker Weber Avenue Royalty... Of course the Weber Ave crew was a little put off by the request, but what are you going to do when Norm Chad wants to get a picture with the guys? Oh, the characters you bump into when you're taking a leak at McCarran Airport (LAS for all you aviation buffs)... The Tahoe Kid was happy to oblige Scotty Nguyen with a photo for his kids.  That's right folks, that's none other than American Idol Standout William Hung tuning up his game at the Flamingo before taking a seat at one of Weber Avenue's Limit tables. We play with a Kill here William - pull in a couple more racks, and you might be ready!  OK, I know we're really reaching here, and I know this is EASILY the worst picture ever taken, but a Weber Avenue Poker Charter Member (who may, or may not be residing in the Greater Tahoe region at the time of this snaphot, swears that this is legit. Take it at painted-face value, folks (bah-dum-bum...). That's right - it's a blurry Gene Simmons, of KISS! And now a little trip down Memory Lane, and then a SHARP LEFT onto Weber Avenue! Noted poker author Goose "Two Clips" Johns picks up his 2nd Weber Avenue Money Clip with "The Mimi" (how appropriate - wink, wink!) on Giacomo Day, 2006 The 2006 Weber Avenue Poker League Board Of Directors pick up their Personalized Binders, compliments of the league members for yet another perfectly run season. Thanks again guys! As usual, a Job Well Done! Looks like just another Thursday night at Weber Ave., right? Well look again folks - thanks in part to our Dealer Training Program, in cooperation with the Excalibur, we've graduated yet another Disgruntled Dealer, primed and ready to fling the Copags at any 3rd or 4th rate Poker joint in Vegas. Welcome All - It's the Weber Avenue Salute! Anyone care to venture a guess as to which one just got knobbed? Speaking of which ....It's Lubber !!- Deserving Winner of the 2006 Weber Ave KOTY Award (That's Knob Of The Year, for those of you not in the know...)  The Original Unabomber - Junior in the tank Adversaries at the table, best of friends away from the felt... Looks like Robby's just trying to avoid a knobbing, while Dawn delivers the Weber Ave Salute on her way out the door. Lead Pipe and The Lovely Robin - Winners of the Weber Avenue Site Of The Year - 2 years running! (2005, 2006) Word on the street errrrrr.... AVENUE is that they're early favorites for 2007 too, considering all the upgrades - Keep up the great work!  Much like that tradition made famous by a little golf tournament at Augusta National, here we see Brian McPeek - The Golden Boy Of Poker (or G-BOP as he's known around the oval), accepting the 2006 Weber Avenue Season Point Winner Money Clip and prize money to fill it. That's none other than 2005 Points Winner, Mike "Lead Pipe" Piper slipping that "green" into the coveted clip. Tim "Tahoe Kid" Weidenkopf gladly accepts his 2006 Weber Avenue "Mis-Dealer" of The Year Award. Congratulations Kid - you certainly earned it! Right on Schedule - Robby reacts to having to turn his suited Big Slick back in to the Tahoe Kid, after, what else? A Misdeal. Don't worry Robby - "They wouldn't have been yours!"  As the custom welcome mat says, 'There's no place like home' on Thursday nights. Wall-mounted cleanliness is just a step or two away from the table. A rule next year will mandate and regulate usage after every 3 blind levels, a sneeze or a chunky cough. Forgive us our copyright trespasses and credit us our creativity. |
