TEAM FELTSTARS

Jason "Juice" Lipscomb

I began my poker career by dealing private games in the back of smoke filled bar rooms around Hammond, La and all the way to Houston, Texas. Since then I have held just about every title known to man in the poker world from dealer, floor, WSOP Tournament Director and Poker room manager.  At the age of 23 I dealt the final table for a WSOP event telvised on ESPN in New Orleans.  After dealing the final table, I was offered the lead floor position in Tunica for their WSOP event.  After the tournaments in Tunica, I was then offered a Lead Position at the WSOP in Vegas.  I was one of the head supervisors at the RIO for all of the World Series of Poker events.  I play on the site under the name "Feltstar" in the 1-2 up to the 25-50 Omaha games.

Benton "BootnTee" Blakeman

Benton started playing poker while attending college at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana during the fall of 2001.  It was during this time that a family friend who had been playing for years took him under his wing and taught him the ins and outs of the daily grind.  Almost immediately Benton consistently beat the $4-$8 limit game at the local bar where he played every night, as well as the games at the casinos in New Orleans where he would travel to several times a week in search of action.  Upon graduating college in December of 2002, Benton, at the young age of 21, packed up his car and moved to Las Vegas.  Throughout the last 5 years he has concentrated on playing in cash games, primarily No-Limit Hold Em, both in casinos around the country and online.  Although he has put up impressive cash game numbers, he has also put up some very impressive tournament results both online and live as well, racking up $200,000 in cashes.
