Jake Schoener Takes Florida Championship Title
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.
On Saturday February 21st, 15 qualifiers from the Fort Walton Beach took their shot at becoming the next Florida State Champion. Michael Jacobo along with six other people started the tournament with a double stack and it payed off for Michael as he was crowned the newest Florida champion.
Congratulations to Glen Kowalski from Attitudes in Fort Walton Beach and Janet Judge (picuted right) from Sunshine Bowl in DeLand. Both players each won $500 for travel to Las Vegas to compete in the Party at the Palms National Championship at the Kingpin & Erotic suites at the Palms Casino. Glen and Janet will compete against 48 other players throughout the league with 21 players winning a $1,500 package. 
On Saturday, September 12th, Attitudes Food & Spirits held the Florida state championship for the Desert Heat promotion. When it was all said and done the new Florida state champion was Bobby Pacheco. Congratulations Bobby and we look forward to seeing you at the Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas!!!
