Alison Kelley Wins $11,103 in Heartland Poker Tour
Alison Kelley was the bubble-person (7th place) for the final 6 "TV" table of the Heartland Poker Tour event in Mille Lacs. Alison won her entry to the HPT a week earlier in the Summer Poker Challenge II Finals held at Playmakers in Fargo. With 7th place she earned $11,103 but missed out on a bigger pay-day, with 1st place scheduled to take roughly $80,000...
Congrats to Alison on a great run and a nice cash, proving once again that free poker pays!!! Alison qualified for the HPT-20 seats contest playing Thursday nights at the Old Broadway in Fargo. Congrats!
Clay Lipke (from Primetime Food & Spirits in Breezy Point, MN) also cashed 20th place in the same event for $2,221. Clay's free seat came from a freeroll at the Minnesota Poker League Fall 06 Championship.
Jenny took down the recent Heartland Poker Tour event at Shooting Star Casino in Mahnomen, MN cashing a whopping $52,900!
The 2007 World Series of Poker is not that far away! Play your best during the winter months and perhaps you'll be rewarded with a seat in the biggest poker tournament in the world this summer!!! Don't miss this opportunity. The overall league champion will earn an entry to the main event and the runner up will earn an entry to a preliminary event. Both packages include roundtrip airfare and hotel accommodations. "Are You All In?" Good luck!
