Three Illinois Players Make the Top 30 at Nationals
Illinois had a great showing at the HPT Dream Package National Championship recently with three players placing in the top 30 of the 94 person field. By making the top 30 each player received a $180 FPN private HPT qualifier buyin. Those lucky three were Chris Juracek from Q's sports bar in Darien, IL, Steve O'Connor from Coaches sports bar in Midlothian, and John Edwards from the Town Bar in Aurora, IL. The next day the field of 30 came back to play down to the top 10% to win a HPT $1650 Main Event seat. Chris Juracek was able to win one of those main event seats. Unfortunately the main event didn't go so hot as his Kings got cracked early, but still all three played great all weekend long.
