Big Weekend

Running Aces

This is a big weekend for the Minnesota tournament poker scene, with the Heartland Poker Tour invading Shooting Star Casino, and Running Aces holding a $500 buy-in Pot ‘o Gold tournament on Sunday. Both tournaments should attract decent field sizes.

If you plan on playing in either event, feel free to drop us a line, either in the comments section or via email (phil@mnpokermag.com).

We’re also currently finalizing the April issue of Minnesota Poker Magazine, and to be honest, it’s probably one of the most interesting issues we’ve had since launching in June of 2009. With Jeremy Dresch going nuts and winning yet another big tournament — the February MSPT at Mille Lacs — and with Lance Harris winning $330k in an FTOPs event, we basically had two cover stories. These are two of the biggest stories of the last 12 months, and they both happened in the same week.

Crazy.

Bryan and I had a chance to swing by Lance’s house in Apple Valley last week to shoot the breeze and snap some photos. He’s a great dude and a great poker player. I’m sure you’ll hear plenty more about him as the months go on.
