In the front corner of the Nugget ballroom sits a 91-year-old man with an envelope stuffed with painted rocks and a handful of business cards. He's a regular on the FPN Circuit and when he isn't playing he's looking to improve the days of those around them.
Minnesota's Robert "Bob" Schreiner is known for gifting his custom-painted "Wow Girl" rocks to women dealers and players, believing that every woman deserves that kind of small yet meaningful recognition.
The Marine veteran shows his support in other ways. During Wednesday's $200 WPT Passport event, "Str8 Flush Bob" wore an "I <3 Dana Castaneda" apron, paying tribute to the league's executive poker director running the show here at the Nugget.
Though Schreiner shies away from publicity, he has nearly a century of stories to tell.
"Isn't that something?" Schreiner said proudly as he showed PokerNews a photo from the 1970s with 38th Vice President Hubert Humprey. He repeats this phrase as he scrolls through photos of eight of his 11 grandkids and playing a Tag Team event with his son, Steve Schreiner, in custom t-shirts he made for the event.
If you're playing in a Las Vegas daily or bar league event and spot a woman using a rock with a red heart on it as a card protector, be sure to think of Bob Schreiner.
