A big congratulations to Lori Harmon, for winning the 2025 Championship bracelet. The 2020 championship winner, Barbara Schamp, came in second. They chopped the prize pool for $450 each, then decided to cut cards to see who wins the bracelet. Lori, not only cut the higher card, but did have the majority of chips.

T.C. Thompson, came in third. Mary Lorigan was fourth.

Kevin Timmer, won the 50/50 drawing. He pocketed $235.

Thanks players for a great 2025 season.

Our 2026 season begins on Saturday, February 7th. Hope you can make it.

We do have a format change. It may help from needing a rebuy in the first hour of play. Whenever a player has 5,000 chips or less, they can donate $20 to charity and receive 5,000 chips. This is only available the first hour. But you must have chips, to take advantage of this. If you bust out the first hour, you must rebuy for $50, for 10,000 chips to continue.

 Thanks for your continued support.  

Every regular event will have a first break add-on for $20 and you will receive 5,000 chips. Every event will also allow a player to re-buy during the first hour for $50 to receive 10,000 chips. Remember, you must have at least one chip to qualify for the $20 first break add-on. However, if you want to forfeit your chips at the end of the first hour, you may do so and re-enter for $50 and 10,000 chips. You may then do an add-on for another $20 and 5,000 chips. 

2026 Events:   February 07, April 04, June 06, (dinner buffet included), August 01, October 03 and December 5th.  The Tournament of Champions event will be Saturday, January 09th, 2027.

If you have additional questions, feel free to contact Larry Timmer at 813-245-1582.
