February and March Perfect Attendance Winners
Steven Rien from Annandale, MN was surprised on his regular league night on Wednesday with a brand new 40 inch HDTV. Steven was drawn for the February perfect attendance which we kept quiet so we could surprise him at his bar Rich's in Annandale, MN. The March perfect attendance winner was Randy Edison from the Side Street Saloon in Milnor, ND. Randy has qualified for the Vegas or Bust National Championship on July 4th by just showing up to his regular poker nights.
Christy Christensen from Hutchinson, MN recently took second place to Bob Timberlake in the online Fall Regional Championship, just missing out on the full package to the National Championship. He did win an i-pod shuffle for his effort, but that wasn't his goal, his goal was to see Vegas for the first time and compete in the National Championship. In less than two weeks he was able to accomplish his goal. Christy took down the first of the month tournament to get the full package which includes the airfare allowance, hotel stay, and his spot in the National Championship on July 4th.
Tim Casey who plays out of the Taconite American Legion in Minnesota was drawn for the perfect attendance in November. He played all five weeks the Legion held poker and qualified for the regionals in the month in November. Tim won himself a new digital camera just in time for the holiday season. Lucky for Tim, there were about two dozen people that were drawn before him who did not make it each week. Make sure you make it every week to be included in the monthly drawings, up next for December is a qualification into the Vegas or Bust National Championship!
