WBBM-FM's General Sales Manager, Ben Ponzio, knows more than just how to make sales happen for B96. He knows his Texas Hold 'Em Poker, as well. In 2007, he won a World Series of Poker bracelet. In 2008, Ben finished 5th in Event 40 of the 2008 WSOP. He also finished 10th in Event 50 in the 2009 WSOP. Now, in 2010, he is looking to get back to the top, but he needs our help. The World Series of Poker is having a Tournament of Champions all-star event in June that is open to all past bracelet winners, but in order to participate, he needs to be one of the top 20 vote getters on the WSOP website. Assuming he makes it in, Ben will be one of only 27 players competing for one million dollars on ESPN at the World Series of Poker. If he wins the million, Ben is promising to donate 5% of it to the Sheridan-Carroll Food Pantry in Chicago. Help a Chicago radio brother out below!
