Not notable. A perfect example of why the essay at WikiProjectPoker should be ignored. Winning a $1,000 seniors event does not meet the Wikipedia criteria for notability. Handpolk  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  00:45, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Winning such low level poker events does not make one notable. The essay on poker notability probably needs to be updated to reflect the more stringent guildeines for notability on Wikipedia in the 2010s as opposed to the 2000s, caused by a realization that when articles on people who did in 1846 could sit for years in the living people category because no one even bothered to give a remote sense of time to the person, we needed to shore up the expanse of biographical articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:26, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
 * "Low level"? The WSOP is the pinnacle of poker tournaments. How many "low level" events have 1882 in-person entries and a $348K first prize? Clarityfiend (talk) 10:39, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
