Christy Christensen from Hutchinson, MN recently took second place to Bob Timberlake in the online Fall Regional Championship, just missing out on the full package to the National Championship. He did win an i-pod shuffle for his effort, but that wasn't his goal, his goal was to see Vegas for the first time and compete in the National Championship. In less than two weeks he was able to accomplish his goal. Christy took down the first of the month tournament to get the full package which includes the airfare allowance, hotel stay, and his spot in the National Championship on July 4th.
The day was Sunday February 19th when Bob Timberlake got the monkey off his back. Bob a big supporter of the league and bar owner out of Omaha, NE was able to take down the regional winners online championship. Every person who won a regional for the fall quarter competed online for a full Vegas package and a spot in the Vegas or Bust National Championship. Bob who won the Eastern Nebraska regional took the regional online championship tournament down. Bob has been very, very close in live play, he is a fixture in the NE state championships and has made the final table three times and now has his spot secured. He will be playing for a double stack at the state championship and we all look for him to go deep and make a run at the double stack for Nationals.
