A Dream Come True: Friends Raise Money to Allow Pamela Cooskey to Play Main Event Amid Cancer Battle
Niveau 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Someone playing in today's 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event field is 52-year-old Pamela Cooskey, originally from Portland Oregon but now living in Georgetown, Texas. She runs Kontenders Poker League in Texas and she is also a manager at Georgetown Poker Club in Texas.
Unfortunately, Cooskey is battling cancer and doctors have given her a grim diagnosis. As a result, many of her friends and fellow players came together to put her in the Main Event.
"She is one of the most upbeat, energetic, and positive people," a friend told PokerNews. "She’s like family to all of us, which is why my partners and I at GPC and the RGS Poker Network decided to raise money to fulfill her dream of playing in the WSOP Main Event!"
Friends raised $13,000 in a matter of hours, which covered her buy-in for the tournament plus other expenses. What's more, poker pro Farid Jattin, who has nearly $6.7 million in lifetime earnings according to The Hendon Mob, donated a coaching session for her just prior to the start of the Main Event.
Regardless of how she does in this tournament, her friends are already planning to host a benefit tournament happening at Georgetown Poker Club on July 16th.

Also in the same area on a table right behind Raymer's is 2009 champion Joe Cada, to create a bit of a champions section in the corner of Bally's orange section.

A wholesome moment just took place on Daniel Negreanu's table.
Arash Shahi from Toronto, Canada was on the rail watching his fellow countryman tackle the Main Event.
At the 2018, Shahi and Negreanu were at the same table in the $1,500 Limit Hold'em Event at the Rio All Suite and Casino. According to Shahi, Negreanu paid for Shahi's massage after the latter realized he had no cash on him.
Shahi told Negreanu that'd he pay him back but when Shahi returned from the ATM, Negreanu was gone.
Shahi just told Negreanu the story and passed him a crisp $100 note with Negreanu saying "This is going to be lucky,".
