Photos from the event will be posted to the Free Poker Network facebook page shortly, as well as a more detailed recap of the event from Shooting Star Casino in Mahonmen. What a tournament!

Minnesota Poker League players put on your “poker faces” and bring your
A-game because a whopping 58 percent of the 243 state qualifiers in
this weekend’s MPL Fall Spectacular Championship have qualified in
previous Minnesota championships—undoubtedly making for some hot and
heavy Texas Hold’em tournament action! Beginning this Saturday,
February 27, at 12 pm sharp inside the Shooting Star Casino in
Mahnomen, MN, the Minnesota Poker League is set to give away seven
grand prize packages to those fortunate enough to make the final table
as the last seven standing. Those blessed seven will win a seat in our
exclusive Fall Spectacular National Championship in Las Vegas—including
an airfare and hotel package for three-nights in fabulous Las Vegas and
a tournament buy-in to a World Series of Poker Circuit Event at Caesar’s Palace.
At 11 am on Sunday, February 21, the South Dakota Poker League staff rolled into Starters Lanes in Redfield, S.D., only to find championship players already arriving and preparing themselves for a fun-filled action-packed day of poker tournament action. After two hours of set-up and registration the cards hit the air, and 68 excited qualifiers quickly put on their poker faces to begin the high-flying Fall Spectacular State Championship action. Sunglasses shielded the eyes of many a player, and spectators roamed the crowd as the players began studying their opponents and settling in for a long day of poker.
