The Dilemma of Being Backed

Lee Davy talks about the gratitude he feels after finding a backer to put him into some World Series of Poker action, and the conflicting feeling that comes with that.

Let me tell you something.

Every time I ask the universe for something, it delivers. It might not turn up in the first class mail, but it always arrives.

Coming into the 46th Annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) I was worried. It was the first time since I started coming out here that I didn’t have all of my expenses covered. Santa Claus went on strike, the Easter Bunny was infertile, and the Tooth Fairy ran off with Ant Man. The belt buckle was tightened. There would be no money to play.
