Fatty's Unite
A recent table break has brought three "fatties" together. Alfonso Cammarota and Mike "The Nose" Castaldo have been seated together since the start of play, and they've just been joined by one Al Riccobono. All three men are sporting a patch reading "Fatty's", as they've been doing for at least a year now.
If you've never heard of them, Fatty's is a members-only poker club based in New York, and the members have some big things on their slate. They are currently producing a docu-reality television show tentatively titled "Fatty's: Where Poker Gets REAL" about their exploits on and off the felt. According to a press release, the show "follows New York poker club owner Mike “The Nose” Castaldo, professional poker players and a cast of regular local Joes who will interact with pros and celebrities throughout the year, both on and away from the tables." If you know any of the guys involved, you're as anxious as we are to see this show hit our screens. Not to mention the fact that Lacey Jones is reported to be involved with the project as well.
"It's like Cheers, but around a poker table," Riccobono says.
