The 24th seat for the Fall Spectacular National Championship was
awarded on Sunday, March 7th at the conclusion of the Wisconsin State Championship held at Pitchers Pub in Madison, WI. Of
the 50 poker players who qualified, 43 participants were ready for some
poker tournament action as registration began at 12 pm. Each qualifier
in attendance was hoping to be the one to win the trip to Las Vegas and
play in the coveted National Championship Invitational where once again
the Free Poker Network will set the standard by awarding more than
$12,000 in World Series of Poker Circuit Event buy-ins including a $5,000
main event buy-in.

Minnesota Poker League players put on your “poker faces” and bring your A-game because a whopping 58 percent of the 243 state qualifiers in this weekend’s MPL Fall Spectacular Championship have qualified in previous Minnesota championships—undoubtedly making for some hot and heavy Texas Hold’em tournament action! Beginning this Saturday, February 27, at 12 pm sharp inside the Shooting Star Casino in Mahnomen, MN, the Minnesota Poker League is set to give away seven grand prize packages to those fortunate enough to make the final table as the last seven standing. Those blessed seven will win a seat in our exclusive Fall Spectacular National Championship in Las Vegas—including an airfare and hotel package for three-nights in fabulous Las Vegas and a tournament buy-in to a World Series of Poker Circuit Event at Caesar’s Palace.
At 11 am on Sunday, February 21, the South Dakota Poker League staff rolled into Starters Lanes in Redfield, S.D., only to find championship players already arriving and preparing themselves for a fun-filled action-packed day of poker tournament action. After two hours of set-up and registration the cards hit the air, and 68 excited qualifiers quickly put on their poker faces to begin the high-flying Fall Spectacular State Championship action. Sunglasses shielded the eyes of many a player, and spectators roamed the crowd as the players began studying their opponents and settling in for a long day of poker.
