Poker Pro Brandon Dosch Playing Heartland Poker Tour Event
It's been quite a year for the league's big winner of the original Poker Pro promotion. Brandon Dosch has made over $20,000 this year from tournaments he won entry from the Free Poker Network. Brandon won tournament buy-ins to the World Series of Poker, the Bellagio Five Diamond Classic, and coming up this weekend the Heartland Poker Tour. While in the WSOP Brandon cashed for $3,665 and at the Five Diamond Classic he took home $16,703. Brandon is also very familiar with the Heartland Poker Tour as back in 2010 he won a televised event and took home $40,601.
We wish Brandon good luck in Florida and look forward to hearing the results. Who will be the next poker pro?? We'll soon find out. Good luck all qualifiers for the Goldent Ticket final in Vegas!
Playing free poker for Peter Hettwer (pictured left) just paid off in a big way. Peter is the latest perfect attendance winner and won himself a brand new I-pad 3. Peter showed up to the West Fargo, VFW all five Thursdays. It didn't matter how he fared in league only that he was there when his name was drawn. Congratulations Peter.
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) three North Dakotans were able to win a WSOP seat into Event #59.
