The excitment was everywhere at the Hard Rock Cafe in Orlando Florida as Salesplace held their first Texas Hold'Em Poker Tournament for Lotusphere 2007 attendees. With 200 players in attendance, the action was fast, furious, and fun!

"I've been coming to Lotusphere for years, and by far this was the best event ever." said Patrick Salois from Nashen + Nashen Consultants based in Montreal. "I can't wait until next year."

Congratulations to Ellis Grubb (bottom right in the picture holding the blue bottle), from Denver, Colorado, who was the grand prize winner of the tournament.

Look for Ellis on the big screen at this year's Super Sunday game in Miami. This 4 day experience, including a pre-game chalk talk with former players, culminates with 2 end-zone tickets at the game.

Thanks to all participants who made the event an overwhelming success. Looking forward to see you next year.
