“Its a surreal experience. I never thought I’d be here, I only started playing poker less than a year ago.” Mike Patterson was one of the original attendees at a Sunshine Poker League event.

Donnie Sunshine took Patterson under his wing and taught him everything he knew about the game. Now less than a year later Patterson is competing for $50,000, life changing money.
