07/10/10 - Big Mike's Casino hosted a day of poker with the 2010 All-Star game, the Head's Up Tournament and then the main event called, "The Dog Days of Summer".

Little Mike was the champion of the Head's Up Tournament beating Poker Todd for the win. The Dog Days of Summer was exactly as advertised... HOT HOT HOT!

(We all figured Todd will need the money after the wedding).
