Winter Camp Legends
Giant Poker Pot
| Origin | Winter Camp XI (1987) |
| The Story | Casino Night started at the second Winter Camp and continued through XI and took a break. During some previous Winter Camps there was a poker game which featured a cash pot. At one such game, Steve Pejuan wrote a check to stay in the running. The cash poker game was always dominated by Jeff Rand who typically carried a few hundred dollars in cash, more than the others. At Winter Camp XI, there was a plan to finally be able to break Jeff. The Donohue brothers arrived with over $1000 each (loaned to them by their father when he learned it was to prank Jeff). Mr. Wilson, who was also in on the plan had considerably more. As the game began to accelerate beyond all reason, some campers believed it was real. A post-game photo shows a table-full of currency. |
| Veracity | Fairly true. |
