Congratulations to Stephanie Crockett from the Drgaon Bar and Grill in Frankfort as she has secured her playoff spot in the Ship It! promotion. Stephanie is no stranger to the playoffs as she was the winner of the last promotion Vegas Invasion. We had a great time meeting Stephanie in Las Vegas during the Vegas Invasion playoffs. This was almost her third championship apperance as she just missed out in the Destination Las Vegas promotion ending up being the bubble spot the first go around, but definitely made up for it in the next promotion. Now she has the experiance to possibly become our first two time champion.
The Regional Championship Tournament is almost here! One lucky winner will win airfare and hotel to Las Vegas to compete in the National Championship. At the National Championship we will be awarding 8 seats into a World Poker Tour Event and also 1 bonus World Series of Poker seat.
Brian Young Jr. from JD Legends in Nicholasville took his seat at the Orleans Casino in fabulous
Las
Vegas on June 29th with a shot at the $10,000 WSOP main event seat grand prize. He was of the exclusive 25 players from around the country who had won $1000 worth of travel expenses to play in the national final.
Brian did not take it down but had fun in Vegas. The eventual winner was Clay
Lipke from Breezy Point in
Minnesota. Clay also won a $1500 buy in seat (Event #52) in the league, so he got to play in 2 WSOP events! National Championship report/details.
Brian Young Jr battled a field of 20 players to capture
