Soon Steve and Ray started holding poker tournaments at their shop for their embroidery and screen printing business clients and friends. The frequent tournaments were known the "Executive Game" in local poker circles.

That same year the Executive Game tournament final prize was a buy in to event #22 World Series of Poker 2005 $1500 No Limit Texas hold 'em Tournament.
