Final Tourney SUNDAY, DEC 3RD
What a
tournament...90 players started the 2-day event. Despite a 5000 starting
chip count & 1/2 hour blinds, 3 players were finished in the opening round! The play was fast & furious and it was obvious that everyone who made it this
far was playing to win. Larry Ristvedt (Elks, Fargo) got off to
a great start, as did Jeff Neiber (Trophy's, Wahpeton). Many
league champs including overall points leader Casey Asche (Playmakers,
Fargo) couldn't get anything going and fell early in the tournament...
Summer ended with a bang at Hagge’s Bar & Grill over the weekend of August 26th-27th. Two championship tournaments ended the “Summer Poker Challenge” promotion across the Free Poker Network of bars in North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota and Nebraska.
