Full Tilt Poker Signs Blind Poker Player

When poker player Hal Lubarsky sat down to play in the World Series of Poker he had an unusual challenge - he could not see the cards. Hal is blind, and through special consideration was allowed to have a caller, an assistant who would tell him the cards he held, what the board cards showed, and the actions of his opponents. Recently the rumor was floated, and then substantiated, that Hal was signed on as a pro with online poker room Full Tilt Poker. Some concern has been broached on various poker sites about how a blind person could manage online games.
