On Saturday May 5th 282 poker players from the state of MN convened at Shooting Star Casino in Mahnomen, MN. At stake were 16 spots in the Vegas or Bust National Championship. The top eight would receive the full package of airfare allowance and hotel stay at Hooters Casino. The day was filled with plenty of excitement as it only took less than five hands to have the first all-in and a call when John Magnuson from Fergus Falls lost half of his double stack when the flop brought set over set. 
Two more scratch poker winners were just turned in! Jacquelin Pavek from Cannon Falls, MN hit a straight flush (2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, and 6h) to qualify for the Vegas or Bust National Championship on July 4th at the MGM and wins $200 cash. Alex Aemisegger from Bismarck, ND hit four jacks to also qualify making him eligible for the National Championship. 
Steven Rien from Annandale, MN was surprised on his regular league night on Wednesday with a brand new 40 inch HDTV. Steven was drawn for the February perfect attendance which we kept quiet so we could surprise him at his bar Rich's in Annandale, MN. The March perfect attendance winner was Randy Edison from the Side Street Saloon in Milnor, ND. Randy has qualified for the Vegas or Bust National Championship on July 4th by just showing up to his regular poker nights.
