Man scores win at Score poker tourney in E.C.
EAST CHICAGO | It started with 120 players. But, in the end, Elmer Del Rosario of Woodridge, Ill., was the last player with the chips in the second annual Resorts East Chicago/670 The Score celebrity poker tournament held this past Saturday at the Resorts Casino.
“The Terminator,” as Del Rosario is called by some of his fellow players, took home a good portion of the $36,000 overall purse.
Del Rosario built a stack of chips in the early rounds and kept the momentum going. His pile was insurmountable for runner-up, former major league baseball player John Cangelosi.
