Cranston State Representative Jacqueline Baginski is lucky in cards and knows when to listen to some valuable coaching. For the second consecutive year, she made it to the table of champions at Annual Charity Holiday Blackjack Tournament was held last Thursday with Bally’s donating a total of $60,000 to 36 Rhode Island charities. The players, a cross section of state legislators, media and civic leaders receive a minimum of $1,000 for the charity of their choice. They are divided into six tables. After playing five hands, the player with the most chips moves on to the table of champions for another five rounds of the game. Baginski placed third, winning $5,000 for the Woodridge Elementary School. (Cranston Herald photo)
