In order to get on the blog, it's really just as easy as asking...as Steven Costa (Coconut Creek, FL) found out just a few moments ago.

Steven Costa (Coconut Creek, FL) cut his teeth playing both tournament and cash, but now focuses primarily on the latter.  In fact, he said that the only reason he entered today's flight, was to "get on the blog."  His first goal is now accomplished, but the real end result he would like to see, is a pile of chips in a plastic bag.  This tournament things is nothing new for Costa...in fact it's kind of like riding a bike...once you've seen success, you never forget how to achieve it.  Steven has over $78,000 in live tournament earnings, with his first recorded result coming back in 2011.  His career highlighting score came in 2015, when he chopped Event #8 of the Florida State Poker Championships ($360 No Limit Hold'em).  The result would earn him $32,607, and happens to be just one of nine cashes for Steven since 2015.
