Oklahoma Johnny Hale and Oklahoma Sarah

I want to introduce you to Carol and my daughter, “Oklahoma” Sarah Hale. Forgive me, my buttons are busting when I talk about OK-S!

She is Hollywood beautiful, Vegas street smart, college smart, and employed by Caesars Palace in Las Vegas! OK-Sarah is also one hell of a poker player, and was the first woman to win a poker tournament at the Wynn poker room in Las Vegas.

On September 30, 2007 OK-S won first place in my eightieth birthday poker party at the Venetian!

OK-Sarah was born to play poker. Herfirst recorded words were “I raise the pot.” Thousands of poker players knew that she was on her way because when her mother Carol was pregnant with Sarah, Carol would sit beside me knitting while I was playing poker with them.

Sarah graduated with honors from UNLV and will be returning to the University of Nevada at Las Vegas to attain her masters in hotel and gaming management.

OK-Sarah has hosted her own poker tournament, The L.A.C.E. ladies poker tournament at the Horseshoe in Tunica, and will soon return there for the second annual L.A.C.E. tournament this March, just before she hosts the cruise on “The Freedom of the Seas”!

If OK-Sarah sits down to play in a poker game she may look like she will be very easy to beat, But She has the beauty of her mother-the money of her grandfather– -the luck of her father-the courage of a lion-and when she gets up she may have your money in her pocket.

Well folks—I could go on and on; there is much more to tell of “Oklahoma” Sarah, but I want to leave OK-S enough space for her to say a few words to you.

Go for it Sarah! Gosh, Dad I did not think you were ever going to wind down, but thanks for the intro.

I already know a lot of you poker players and I also know some of the ones that dad fondly calls the “whippersnappers.” Yes, I do love poker, and have played poker all over the world with dad and mom-at the world famous Aviation Club on the Champs Elysee in Paris, and played poker in the Victoria club in London and Amsterdam.

I took lessons and received my licensee as a deep sea diver.

I love to ski, snorkel, and rock climb, go snow boarding in Switzerland, and visit our Thousands Pines Ranch in Arizona. I also love dancing and seeing all the shows here in Vegas! Vegas is my home town!

I know this town. I have walked its streets, played poker in all the poker rooms, eaten in all the gourmet rooms, and have been to the fancy suites and in a lot of the penthouses and multi-million dollar homes.

I will be telling you about all the hot spots here in Vegas, at the Palms, Caesars Palace, Venetian, Wynn, Sahara, and all the trendy night clubs!

I will report to you folks about the best places to go in Vegas for poker tournamentsand all the “in” places in Vegas where you can have fun with all the young whippersnappers. I invite you to come with me to Vegas and on the cruise and have fun around the world of Poker.

I am the luckiest girl in the world. My dad is a great teacher-a great person and a great father, and my mom is awesome. I will reveal some of dads poker secrets and how mom can get dad to fight a tiger-or to save a kitty. I’m “Oklahoma” Sarah Hale and I always stay lucky!
