The Gardens of Marysville Seniors Go All In Thanks to Poker-Playing Staff Member

Scott Owens, the Business Office Director at The Gardens at Marysville in Washington, is trading spreadsheets for cards and teaching residents the ins and outs of poker.

With his experience in smaller World Series poker events, Scott began hosting monthly lessons where residents are learning to play 7 Card No Peek, 5 Card Stud, and Blackjack. It’s a game where everyone’s hands are on deck, and no one’s bluffing about having fun.
