(pictured right) from the Outer Limits in New Richmond has done it again in his home state. Dale was able to take down Wisconsin State Championship becoming the reigning champ once again. Two years ago in the Party at the Palms National Championship Dale was able to cash for a cool $1500 and now looks for some more action at the Poker Pro National Championship. By becoming the champ he wins the airfare allowance and hotel stay as well. Respectively in second place was Martin Cue from Pitchers Pub in Madison and Bette Peterson from the JJ's Outpost in third place. Both Martin and Bette secured their spot at the Poker Pro National Championship.
Sheila Kinsburgy from Hammond, WI was recently one of the big 10 winners in Las Vegas. Sheila competed in the Sin City Showdown National Championship over the fourth of July weekend. There were approximately 75 players from around the United States that arrived at the Smoke Ranch Junction in Las Vegas. Sheila placed in the top 10 to win herself an entry into the WSOP event #54 the following day. Way to go Sheila!
