What a Night!
SUMMER 2010, ARE YOU UP TO THE CHALLENGE??!!
Have you checked out the standings at the new "26" restaurant lately? It seems as if the top spot there is almost always occupied by a Marshall! Pete or Susie, that is. Playing poker at 26 is always a fun experience, lots of great players there and the atmosphere is awesome. Most of us enjoy going there mainly because we will likely get to enjoy a night hanging out with Pete and Susie. They are both very skilled players with many 1st places finishes and strong final table appearances, although Pete enjoys playing at the RPL mega tournaments more than Susie does and is always a threat to win those event. They are both definitely known for being amongst the most well liked and well respected players in our entire league. They are also wonderful family people who enjoy having their children and grandchildren visit their spacious Bethany home, especially during the summer months. They are a pleasure to be around and are always willing to help our league in any way that they can, which is greatly appreciated. We will keep you posted on which Marshall will come out on top of the 26 standings for this session! In the meantime, congratulations to both of these fine people for their great play so far in Session 2.
In case you missed it, Linda Holcomb was the big winner at last Tuesday night's big Venue Championship Event at Circles Bar in Milford. Linda played really great as she went heads up against one of our new players, James Miles. Wayne Pleasanton, Jim Sweed and Clem Epps also all played very well at this challenging final table. The new 10 Week Circles Tournament has just started, what a fun place to play. Again Linda, congratulations on your great win, and good luck on your future play.
Our Fall Invitational Poker Mega Tournament will be held at Harpoon Hanna's again this year. We will invite 300 players only, so you must be in the Top 75 from your region to qualify. Also, the Top 10 Players from each region will receive extra chips for play, as well as preferred seat assignments for the tournament.
Please make sure that you visit the Exciting Events section of our web site as it soon will be updated and focused on all that will be happening with our ambitious and fun fall line up of events. We have very soon have lots of new places to play poker at, some great new bars and restaurants are signing up for fall and winter programs. We will also soon be posting our fall Mega Tournament Schedule which will allow you to play in large, challenging tournaments for great prizes and triple points. We will soon be announcing our new monthly Resort Poker League Cash Tournament to be held each month at Dover Downs Hotel and Casino. Our first such tournament will take place on Wednesday, October 6th. This tournament will have a modest buy in, and will make a pay out most likely to the top 10 finishers. Make sure and reserve your seat there as space will be limited to the first 80 sign-ups. More specifics on this tournament, as well as our entire fall line-up of events, to be posted within the next several days.
Summer 2010 is therefore the perfect time to play RPL Poker.
