Championship: Big Cheese Melted

$3300 + $200 Championship Deep Stack Double Play NLH (Re-Entry)

 Wayne's World, Not Today

Wayne Anastasia (Wall Twp. NJ) loves cheese and loves Borgata poker, so his recent win in the Cabot Cheese tournament was the perfect storm.

"You don't get a body like this without eating cheese," quips Anastasia while playing Day 1A. "I love cheese and I love Cabot cheese."

Anastasia won his seat into the WPT Championship Event as a bonus for winning the 5th annual Put a Bad Beat on Hunger charity poker tournament held in August. The event was sponsored by Vermont's Cabot Creamery Cooperative and the money raised from the event was donated to the Food Bank of Southern New Jersey.

"Its great that they (Cabot) do it," says Anastasia, a retired carpenter, "and it helps such a great cause."

Unfortunately Anastasia's Championship Event doesn't last long as he's out before the dinner break.

"I got no cards all day. It was a slow precipitous decline from Jump Street," says the Borgata regular who's always looking forward to the next sit-n-go and his next piece of Cabot cheese.
