Make no mistake, Debi O’Neill IS CardsChat, and she’s testament to how our community can make you a better poker player. As lead community administrator, she runs the CardsChat forum, and around CC’s virtual headquarters, she’s the go-to for questions about poker. This Georgian was enjoying her off days in Las Vegas playing in 7 live tournaments, cashing in three, bubbling one and winning the Wednesday’s $150 daily No Limit Hold’em (with $4k guaranteed) at the Venetian. As night fell on this full day of poker, Debi was the chip leader at the final table with six remaining. Ever the savvy negotiator, she agreed to a six-way chop, in which she got the most cash, a champion’s coin, and this picture for Big Winners of the Week, in which she proudly displayed an homage to the community that she says made her a better player.
