becoming the first ever
league player to win 2
state championships!
Jeff previously won the
fall 2006 state title
and a trip the Bahamas

Caribbean Adventure main

already qualified for

league champ at Double
T's-Sundays (Columbus),

2008 WSOP /
National Championship Review
Jeff Miller
from MVP Lounge in Omaha and
Stacy Stanford from the
Touchdown Club in North Platte
went to Vegas
on June 27th to participate in the
"Destination
Las Vegas" National
Championship tournament.
The 25 person tournament was
at the Orleans Casino and up
for grabs was a $10,000 main
event WSOP seat.
Unfortunately neither player
took down the tournament, but
still had the next day to look
forward to. Both Nebraska
players played in the WSOP
event #52 a $1,500 buy-in on
Monday June 30th.
On Sunday May 18th
shortly after one o’clock we kicked off the Nebraska state championship
where two lucky people will be heading to Las Vegas to play in the World
Series of Poker. It was a beautiful day as the tournament over
looked the golf course at Hidden Valley in Lincoln.
Live blog & photos from the 2008 Bay 101
Tournament hopes and dreams of cashing in on the $1
million first place prize for the poker league crew
vanished at the end of day one of the main event. The
scene at the Bay 101 is a great experience, and
definitely the most fan-friendly stop on the World Poker
Tour that we have seen.
CONGRATS TO LARRY CULHANE!
Larry Culhane
from Lincoln was one of the 10
big winners in the Gold Rush
Championship.
He won a $3,000
package to play in a World Poker
Tour preliminary event at the
Bay 101 on March 9th.
Check out the video
montage we put together from the
championship!
The race is on in the final stretch of
the fall contest. Who will win the
medallion? (pictured right).
Brian Winters is proving with a
good run a person can climb the
leaderboard fast. He started
playing in week 9 and with 3 final
tables he's now in qualifying range at
the
Hidden Valley Golf Club
Congrats
