Three of the World's Most Amazing Couples
Bob and Maureen have been regulars in the world's biggest tournaments for several years. They are the most modest and gracious people on earth. Their philanthropic deeds in life are amazing, and both are well known by every great poker pro on the circuit. Maureen is one of only four recipients in the world to receive the Brian Saltus Award (the other recipients were Robert Williamson III, Barry Greenstein and Linda Johnson).
Harry and Jerri Thomas are, like the Feduniaks, at the "top of the class." They have taken their poker accomplishments into rare territory: Harry Thomas won a gold bracelet in Seven Card Stud at the World Series of Poker in 1985 and his wife, Jerri, also won the Seven Card Stud at the World Series of Poker in 2000. (The only other couple to each ever win a W.S.O.P. gold bracelet is Max and Maria Stern.)
Marco and his wife Jennifer Harman Traniello are our third and youngest couple in the competion today. Jennifer's accomplishments in poker are ledgendary. She has won two W.S.O.P. bracelets and is the only woman in the world who has consistentely beat the big cash-game players at the Bellagio. Her handsome husband Marco, is one of the most pleasant people you could ever talk to, and is fast becoming a world-class poker player himself. These three amazing couples are absolutely in a league of their own. We will all have fun watching their progress throughout this event competing against the other all-stars of poker.
