All's Fair in Love and Poker
For many players who grind the tournament circuit day in and day out, travelling to farflung locales in pursuit of poker prestige and piles of cash, the life of a touring pro does not leave much room for long-term relationships. For experienced WSOP Circuit regular Michael "Life" Taylor and his girlfriend Cassandra McCarville, however, one pair has held up just fine.
Taylor has been a fixture on the Circuit for the last two years, accumulating multiple cashes and deep runs, and finally capturing his first gold Circuit Ring at the Bicycle Casino in a $365 NLH event this year. Meanwhile, he has been teaching his lady the ropes of tournament poker, and as a longtime dealer in Arizona's casinos, McCarville has already proven to be an apt pupil.
After sweating and supporting Taylor from the rail in earlier WSOP events, and competing in this year's edition of the Casino Employee's Championship, McCarville took her seat today to play in her very first WSOP open event. She joins Taylor among the throngs of players chasing chips here today, and judging by her quickly doubled stack, Taylor might have some serious competition when it comes to the bracelet race in his own house.
