LeRon Washington is one of the best stories to come out of poker in 2010 so far. Playing on the freeroll website ClubWPT, he won an entry to the WPT Celebrity Invitational tournament played at the LAPC, at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles. Not only did Washington make the final table, but he took down the event which included the title, a large first place prize plus a free entry into the $25,000 World Poker Tour’s Five-Diamond Championship Event. We caught up with Washington at the Bellagio in Las Vegas and talked about what he had been through to get to the championship and how his amateur status actually might have been helping him during the event against the big name pros like durrrr and David “Devilfish” Ulliott.
