DJ Squatch Spins Up A Win
DJ Squatch
Longtime poker enthusiast Charles “DJ Squatch” Lake topped the field to win our “Building A Better Vegas” event, benefitting the Junior League of Las Vegas. A professional DJ by trade, Lake has been playing poker for about 20 years, a passion that started with friendly family games and evolved into a deep appreciation for the strategy and community of the game.
Lake cites Doyle Brunson as his poker hero and says his younger brother Jon and cousins Brandon and Desiree were cheering him on from home. Away from the tables, he enjoys video games and bowling, and hopes to one day take a seat in the WSOP Main Event.
For now, he’s savoring the victory, proud to have combined his love of poker with a good cause and earning $2,500 in the process.

Stout Sends One Home
At blinds of 3,000/6,000, under the gun opened to 13,000. CSOP founder Matt Stout three-bet from middle position to 38,000 with J♠J♦. Connor Richards called all in for his last 18,000 holding A♠8♦. The original raiser folded, and the cards were on their backs with Richards at risk.
A flop of J♣2♣Q♥ gave Stout a set of jacks and left Richards drawing nearly dead. The 3♠ turn and 5♣ river brought no miracles for Richards, and he was eliminated. Stout dragged the pot and stacked up 350,000 for a nice stack at this point in the tournament.

Resto Doubles Through Grant
Alden Grant opened the action from under the gun to 8,000 with J♦J♦. The action folded around to Joey Resto in late position, who moved all in for 28,000. Grant made the call, and the cards were turned up with Resto at risk. Grant tabled his pocket jacks, while Resto showed K♠Q♥ and would need to improve to stay alive.
The flop came T♦A♣7♥, giving Resto a gutshot straight draw and two over cards. The K♣ on the turn gave Resto a pair of kings and the lead in the hand, and the A♠ on the river was no help and Resto scooped the pot. Resto doubled up to 65,000, but grant still had 120,000 after paying off the double-up.
