Stephanie Dao’s Life from Vietnam Refugee to World Series of Poker Champion
Alex Livingston’s first trip to the World Series of Poker in 2009 wasn’t much to remember. He was 22 years old, busted the $10,000 Main Event on Day 1, and lost $40,000 playing beer pong. The beer pong loss hurt, but the early elimination hurt even more.

A Look Inside the World of High-Stakes Fantasy Football
Football is kind of the American sports landscape, and fantasy football is a critical part of that, keeping millions of viewers tuned in no matter how mediocre the teams competing or how big a blowout the game might be. Every point matters, and whether it’s 20 bucks or a couple C-notes, adding some cash to the mix makes participating in a league even more fun. But for whales with hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line, every touchdown, field goal and yard gained is magnified that much more, and every injury can be crushing.

Halifax’s Alex Livingston Makes a Big Score at the World Series of Poker
Alex Livingston’s first trip to the World Series of Poker in 2009 wasn’t much to remember. He was 22 years old, busted the $10,000 Main Event on Day 1, and lost $40,000 playing beer pong. The beer pong loss hurt, but the early elimination hurt even more.
Better things were ahead. In 2013 he played the same event and finished 13th for #451,398. That’s a massive finish in the world championship of poker, which featured 6,352 players. That was a huge turnaround from 2009, but Livingston topped that this summer.
