Jason Holbrook playing in the World Series of Poker
A Bakersfield man, who dreamed of playing in the World Series of Poker, will get to play in Las Vegas this week after all – Jason Holbrook -Â who is legally blind, earned the right to play in the World Series of Poker by qualifying through tournaments at the Golden West Casino of Bakersfield. Last week, Holbrook said he was informed he would not be able to play because his card reader could not sit at the table with him. Organizers said that is not the case, and Holbrook will be allowed to participate, just like any other player. Holbrooks brother said everything is straightened out and he could play as soon as Friday.
