Huge Bounties Awarded Today

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Each of the 200 players who started the day received a bounty envelope to award to the person that knocks them out. Of those 200, only 65 contain cash prizes while the others say "Keep Hunting Those Bounties!".

$10,000 in cash and prizes are up for grabs but the biggest prizes have already been captured.

Mike Marek and Dennis Duncan were shocked to open envelopes containing $1,000 but the biggest shock came to Tracy Leonard. Leonard knocked a short stack out adding few chips to her growing number but when she opened her envelope, she was shocked. The $2,000 dollar top prize was found making all of the other players at the table drop their jaws. Leonard is still in the running for the cash but if she comes up short, she won't be too disappointed.

Who Will Slay "Cash King" Bob Tweten as the Next FPN Champ?

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In last year’s FPN Championship, which was deemed the “Cash King Championship,” it was Dakota Poker Tour (DPT) regular Bob Tweten who finished as the last player standing for $25,000 in cold hard cash. He's back in 2020 to attempt a title defense after he qualified by winning his bar’s TOC.

Last year, Tweten had qualified for Vegas after finishing as the League Champ at El Roco Bar in Grand Forks, North Dakota. While in Sin City, he failed to win his way into the Main Event via the League Champ Freeroll, but he tried his hand at a Last Chance Cash Qualifier and won his way in.

Prior to the $25K score, Tweten’s only documented tournament cash on The Hendon Mob was a mere $1,116 for finishing in seventh place in a 2017 Grand Poker Series $150 No-Limit Hold’em Daily tournament.

Here’s a look back at Tweten claiming victory in the FPN “Cash King” Promotion:

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Chad Geffre raised all in for 15,000 from under the gun. Action folded around to the player in the big blind who tossed in a single chip to make the call.

Chad Geffre:
Big Blind:

The flop came giving the player in the big blind a desperate need to improve to knock out the short stack. The and run out did not help and Geffre was able to double up.

FPN is a Family Affair

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jesse Fullen

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Joel Smith and his fiancé Nikki both qualified for the King Slayer Championship. The former is one of the most accomplished players in the league and a former National Champ himself.

Both of them actually went deep in last July's "Main Event Mania" promotion and will be looking to do the same in the King Slayer at Golden Nugget.

Likewise, the Wiedenfelds family — Linda (Mother), Mike Sr. (Father), Mike Jr (Son) all qualified for Sunday's King Slayer Championship Main Event.

Another Poker Power Family, the Petersons, has largely done the same. While former FP National Champ Nels Peterson (pictured) was unable to find time to play in the "King Slayer" promotion, his wife Tannia, son Tyler, and daughter Emma all qualified.

Feeling a little left out, Nels opted to support his family by traveling out to Las Vegas. Who knows, he may even find a way to qualify in the daily tourney open to non-qualifiers.
