Three (3) DPL Members qualified for the ESPN Free Poker Challenge 3 finals on Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Steve Larry, Mike Patterson, and myself. Steve Larry won the week 7 qualifying tournament, good playing Steve. The winner of the challenge gets a paid entry into a qualifying tournament with hotel stay to HPT event in Gary, IN. UPDATE - Mike Patterson was eliminated with about 20-30 players remaining, Steve was eliminated when it was down to two tables. I went out in 4th place. This was back to back final tables for me in the ESPN challenges. Maybe next time!! |
