We are just mere days away from heading out to Las Vegas to crown the new FPN National Champion!  Who will win the big prize?? The turnout is expected to be excellent with right around 100 players.   The Ultimate Poker Fantasy National Championship will take place on Saturday, June 7th at the Golden Nugget at 2pm Vegas time.  Make sure to follow along all the action on our facebook or twitter pages.

Up for grabs is over $25,000 in cash and prizes.  Everyone who makes will at least earn a WSOP daily buy in, and the overall champ will earn a giant trophy and the coveted $10,000 WSOP Main Event Seat!  Additional bracelet event seats will be rewarded for WSOP Event #21. The fields so far for this year's WSOP have been record-setting so it is very exciting and perhaps a league player will knock one out of the park and win some life changing money! Good luck players and we'll see you in Vegas soon!

FPN Loses a Family Member

We are very sad to announce the passing of one of our own FPN family members.  Frank Casey was a passionate poker player and grassroots organizer in Delaware who lost his battle with cancer last week.  We last saw Frank in November during the HPT event and he was in good spirits. Frank was instrumental in setting up the league in the Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland areas and working with the Delaware Park. His wife Janet is a former National Champion in 2012.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to Janet and we will miss Frank dearly, particularly coming up in a couple weeks for the WSOP national final.
