3's Vegas Invasion Perfect
Attendance Drawings
The Vegas
Invasion "Perfect Attendance"
winners were drawn on October
27th at the Orleans Casino
during the National Championship
tournament. Any player that had
perfect attendance during either
session one or two at any
location had their name entered
in the drawings. The first
drawing took place right before
the final table of the
Chamionship and the Session 1
winner was Vance Barta
who qualified at Borrowed Bucks
in Fargo, ND. Coincidentally,
Vance was in Vegas playing in
the Championship Event and had
just busted out with only 2
tables remaining. We decided to
let Vance draw out the winner
for Session 2 and he pulled out
Robert Huseby
who plays at the Audobon Liquor
Store in Audubon, MN. Both
players will receive an 80GB
Playstation 3 valued at $399
each. |

Report From The Bay 101
Live blog & photos from the 2008 Bay 101
Tournament hopes and dreams of cashing in on the $1
million first place prize for the poker league crew
vanished at the end of day one of the main event. The
scene at the Bay 101 is a great experience, and
definitely the most fan-friendly stop on the World Poker
Tour that we have seen.
