Vincent Caruso made a trip with his friends from Charleston to play at bestbet and it turned out the trip was well worth it for the soon-to-be groom.
“I feel really great. My buddies and I came down here from Charleston and we have been really fortunate to play and make it,” Caruso said. “I’m getting married soon, so this helps a lot.”
When play was four-handed Caruso was down to just 80,000 with 7.9 million chips in play. He doubled up, then quadrupled up to stay alive and go on to win.
Caruso said he came to bestbet specifically to play event no. 1 but now may stay and play a few more in the CPPT bestbet series.
“I guess I can now, can’t I?” he said.

Werner said he has been playing mixed games for over twenty years and entreated the event because he not only loves tournaments which are part of larger tours, but he loves the game of H.O.R.S.E.
