New to FPN, Manuel Dominguez entered the Friday Night free that had 6 tables, unfortunately he was first out.

We also heard that he is expecting a baby girl January 2020! Looks like 2020 will be his year!!!! f

With just 90 min until the second chance qualifier to begin, players were anxious to play more poker, a side game, with FPN's first "All in or Fold Tournament" erupted. It drew 26 players, you could hear the commotion from across the bar, Main Event players were a little jealous, you could see and hear the good time they were having. This will be definitely be offered in the future.

***Awesome Achievement to the Wiedenfeld family*** Linda (Mother) Mike Sr. (Father) Mike Jr (Son) all qualified for the Main Event!!
