Cards star Andrew Selluski set to compete in WB 2020

Andrew Selluski, program manager of industrial health and safety for the Ministry of Labour — Waterloo, said on Feb. 7 he would be proud to join Wonderboy 2020.

"Sorry gents, I've been slow (like a sow) to reply in the affirmative that I'll be in attendance...  I have at least been preparing accordingly for my beer delivering duties...  See you in a few weeks" he sent from his Samsung tablet, announcing his decision.

WB Attendee Selection Committee head Kirk Cooper confirmed that they invited Selluski to compete in this year's tournament.

Games Commissioner Greg Desroches had previously expressed that he wanted to see a "successful" card player like Selluski, particularly in poker and euchre.

"Andrew Selluski can carry a euchre team to good results," said he in a televised interview.

Having partnered with Alain Charlebois in euchre in WB 2017, Selluski was a key player on the team in its march to the euchre finals, as well as winning poker that same season.

Selluski tied a Wonderboy record last year by getting his name engraved on the Silver Sow for the second time in his career, equalling Eric D'Souza's mark of futility.

He also got his name on the Wolf Lake Wonder Boy Trophy in 2017, finishing in a 2nd place tie with Colin Goheen.  Selluski had an opportunity at becoming Wonderboy that year, but lost in the pingpong semifinals to the powerhouse team of Ryan Lumbard and Greg Doan.

WB 2020 will take place at Wolf Lake on Feb 21-22-23.
