- Brian of MGoBlog recently participated in the World Series of Poker (read about it here.) Two University of Alabama students have been kicking some butt on the pro poker circuit recently. Rob Berryman finished 33rd at this year's WSOP and got a $329,865 paycheck in the process. Shannon Shorr has raked in about $400,000 over the last six months in tournaments in Australia, Spain, the Bahamas, Austria and the US. That doesn't even take into account Tuscaloosa local Johnny Kampis who also played in the WSOP. Be careful if you play in any card games in Tuscaloosa.
