A GREAT SURPRISE FOR US , WAS WHEN "UNCLE CARL" TOOK THE MIKE AT THE FINALS & ANNOUNCED THAT SOME LOYAL USTP PLAYERS HAD DECIDED TO AWARD THE GOOFY GUYS WHO STARTED THIS WHOLE USTP THING WITH A BUY-IN AT A LOCAL CASINO. FOR US, IT IS HARD TO EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION & THANKS FOR JUST THINKING ABOUT US THAT WAY. THANK YOU TO OUR ENTIRE USTP FAMILY FOR HELPING TO MAKE OUR FINALS & GAMES A CONTINUING SOCIAL ENJOYMENT & IMROVEMENT IN  THE GAME OF HOLDEM.
THANKS,
R.P. & STEVE
