Glen Nichols Becomes Nebraska State Champ

Legends Bar and Grill in Lincoln, NE, was brimming with 76 poker players from around the state who were hoping to stake their claim to the Desination Las Vegas Nebraska State Championship Title this past Saturday, May 15th. The action got underway at 12 pm sharp, with 24 players starting with a double chip stack advantage. Like elsewhere around the country, the weather in Lincoln was a dream, which mirrored many of the players hopes to make the final table. However, one person's dream was cut short early. Within the first hour of tournament play we had lost our first player--Randy Keldsen from the Sand Bar in Pleasanton. Randy didn't go home empty handed though. We sent him off with hopes to make the next state championship and some sweet FPN gear.

The race for the two state titles in our Destination Las Vegas South Dakota State Championship was on this past Sunday, May 16th as 65 qualifiers from around the state gathered for some hot and heavy Texas Hold’em tournament action at the Stadium in Madison, SD. It was a long run with the tournament starting at 1 pm and ending after 11:30 pm, but our two winners—Brian Kozak playing out of Sportsmen’s Rendezvous in Tyndall, and Troy Sattler playing out of the Decoy Bar in Webster—couldn’t have been happier with how things turned out.

On Sunday, May 16th at 1:30 pm, nearly 20 poker players from around Florida gathered at Attitude’s Bar and Grill in Fort Walton Beach, FL, to battle it out for the Destination Las Vegas Florida State Championship. Seven lucky players started the tournament with double chip stacks, hoping that their double chip advantage would take them to the final table. But with only one person winning the trip to Las Vegas and a chance at the $10,000 World Series of Poker Main Event seat, it would be anybody’s game.
