Bruce Hubbard Qualifies for Golden Ticket National Championship
Bruce Hubbard from Coon Rapids, MN won a scratch poker card from Mac and Chesters in Oak Grove, MN. He was lucky enough to scratch off four queens to get qualified for the Golden Ticket National Championship. Bruce is qualifier number 16 so far for the National Championship at the Mirage Casino in Las Vegas on December 10th.
The great state of Minnesota is the largest region in the league!

Recently at the Vegas or Bust National Championship in Las Vegas 99 players from 19 different states competed to see who the new FPN National Champion would be. On the line were eleven seats in the World Series of Poker Event #59, a $1,000 buy-in and a $10,000 Main Event Seat to the overall winner. While the overall winner was Janet Casey from Delaware (the first ever female FPN National Champion) two Minnesotans were able to win a WSOP seat into Event #59. Troy Menke (pictured left) from Jackson, MN came in fifth place and Thomas Root (pictured right) from St. Paul came in ninth. Congrats to both Troy and Thomas for winning a WSOP seat.
