159 Dakota Poker League players will be making their way to the Westside Bar and Grill tomorrow to compete in the Free Poker Networks North Dakota Championship. These qualifiers will be vying for a chance to win one of six grand prizes that include an airfare and hotel package to sunny Las Vegas for a chance to play in the exclusive 25-player National Championship, where FPN will give away more than $12,000 in buy-ins, including a $5,000 WSOP Circuit Main Event Seat. Those who bust early can join spectators to compete in a fun Tag Team Re-buy $200 Freeroll Event. Players will join together in a tag-team format with an interesting twist: Each team will get a re-buy card! When a team loses its chips, it will receive a starting chip stack. This should make for a very entertaining event!
