Event Recap: Prendeville Wins Big At Charity Poker Tourney (Jackson, CA)

August 29, 2007 · 2 Comments

“Andrew Prendeville walked away from the poker table at Jackson Rancheria Casino & Hotel with the big check.

Prendeville, who drives for RLR/Andersen Racing in the Indy Pro Series, out-dueled several drivers at the inaugural Speedway Children’s Charities Poker Tournament. Prendeville was presented with a $10,000 check from Jackson Rancheria, with it designated for qualified youth organizations in Sonoma County through Speedway Children’s Charities, the charitable arm of Infineon Raceway.

Prendeville was joined at the card table by IndyCar Series driver Tony Kanaan, team co-owner Michael Andretti and Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series driver Scott Pruett.

“It was a fun day,” Prendeville said. “I was an underdog because no one really knew who I was at the table. It was intimidating sitting next to Michael Andretti, but I got lucky and was able to win. It’s great that Jackson Rancheria is giving this money to the charity.”
