Mike Bedney (mbed) Earns League Champ Status ONLINE
Congrats to Mike Bedney from East Grand Forks, ND who DOMINATED the month of APRIL and will earn League Champ medallion and Nat'l qualifier tshirt for his impressive run. Mike took down two (2) Sunday VIP tournaments in the month of April! That's an amazing feat when you consider the number of players and quality of the field. The list of players on the Sunday VIP leaderboard reads like a who's who of FPN, including national champs Joel Smith (mnwhitetiger), Bob Tweten (Spud139). It's like playing at Nationals every week.
Here are the Sunday VIP League winners for the month of April:
- Week 1: Mike Bedney, East Grand Forks, MN
- Week 2: Matt Woodruff, Willmar, MN
- Week 3: Mike Bedney, East Grand Forks, MN (twice!)
- Week 4: Mike Marek, Grand Forks, ND
Some of the fun side action at the recent national series included an opportunity to be drawn to play poker pro Danielle Andersen (MN native) headsup for $100 free. Josh "Big Cheese" Krause was the first player drawn and had a fun match with Danielle, who was a great sport. With Poker Night in America's Chris Hanson calling the action and a gallery of dozens of onlookers, Josh calmly took a couple bad beats and eventually lost to Danielle. It was all in fun, and Danielle gave the $100 bill to Josh anyway. Who knows who we'll see this summer during the World Series -or- Bust national championship.
