Prendeville Wins Big At Charity Poker Tourney


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."

The players competed in a 90-minute Texas Hold 'Em Style tournament. Each competitor was given $10,000 in chips to start.

Kanaan made an early exit, with the final three players being Prendeville, Andretti and Mark Demsky, a sports reporter/anchor at KTXL-TV, a Fox affiliate in Sacramento. After Andretti was eliminated, it came down to Prendeville and Demsky. Prendeville took the victory with a flush in the final hand.

"We all had fun but I really wanted to win," Andretti said. "The most important thing is that I wanted to beat Tony and I was able to do that."
