Happy Plastik

[user24788]

Rock and roll photographers can be a surly breed. However, former music photographer turned poker pro, David Plastik has a little something to be happy about. As the dealer pushed Plastik a pot early on during Level 1, he cracked a rare smile. Although it was a small-sized pot, Plastik was still pleased. Players always want to get off to a good start and win the first pot they play during Day 1 of a poker tournament. Nothing is worse than going into the hole during the early levels.

The former photographer for legendary music magazines such as Rolling Stone and Cream is off to a positive start.
