"I have had an amazing experience as a lead instructor with Cardrunners over the past few years, but today I am announcing my departure from the company," Cole South announces in his recent blog entry.

"This decision has more to do with myself than Cardrunners.  In the past year I have at the same time been a full time student, a professional poker player, and an owner/instructor of a poker training site, and I've found myself spread too thin.  Leaving Cardrunners has been an incredibly tough decision for me, but it will allow me to focus on playing poker and completing my degree", South continues.

"I want to give a special thanks to all of the members of Cardrunners for making learning and teaching poker fun. Good luck."

Cole South joined the Team Cardrunners in October 2007 and became the lead instructor at the poker training site.
