 It was a good day for Bill Treinen Saturday at Little Creek Casino. Treinen took top honors in the main event and unlike the majority of past main event tournaments at the Casino Monthly, there was no chop. Bill won the full meal deal. The league would like to congratulate Bill for his outstanding play. Treinen joins other league members who have earned major cash at the Casino Monthly to include: Ronald Schnacker, Kenny Nguyen, Sadat Felder and James Appelgate. As soon as we know exactly how much cash was won, we'll report it here!

Cathy Williams Wins State Championship
GPF Trophy finds new home at Q'z Lounge in Graham
 Going head to head at the final table, Cathy Williams and Duan Curtis battled it out for the title of GPF Spring 2009 Washington State Amateur Poker Champion. The final hand saw Curtis push all-in with an A,10 and Williams call with A,9. Dominated by Curtis, Williams looked as if she'd be crippled when the river card instead, clinched the championship for her by pairing her nine.
Last Chance Qualifiers Huge Success
12 satellite tournaments were played prior to the beginning of the days Main Event on Sunday May 9th. Skullman Williams, the other half of the day's big winner, Cathy Williams, managed to take first in two satellites increasing his GPF point total by an additional 40 points. Each player received a minimum of two entries into satellites where 1st place recieved 20 GPF points and 2nd got 4 GPF points. Play was fast and furious with the turbo format of 1,000 in chips and 10 minute blinds.
Galloping Gerties - Lakewood
League points will be double at both tournaments until further notice.
GPF Championship 10,000 chip Add-on
6 players took advantage of their big GPF point totals and added 10k in chips to their stacks at the end of the 4th blind. After 2 hours of play... only 3 people had to "re-buy", one did it twice,, but we won't mention any names, and one individual had been eliminated. Pre-game add-ons were prevelant with a few individuals opting to start with fewer chips in order to take advantage of the 10K 4th level add-on. It was interesting to see what strategy each individual would use. Most took the max chips available pre-game. The league will continue with this format for major tournaments in the future.
20 GPF Points = GPF Championship Seat and 10K in chips
40 GPF Points = Seat & 15K in chips
60 GPF Points = Seat & 20K in chips
20 GPF Points = 5K rebuy
50 GPF Points = End of 4th Blind, 10k Add-on
20 GPF Points = Max allowed carryover to next tourney

The Value of Free Poker to You!
What does it take to become skilled at the game of Texas Holdem? One of the league's hosts in our early days, Jerry Marquez, a Texas Holdem dealer at the Clearwater Casino, once commented that for a player to go from novice to average playing in Casino Tournaments would require an investment of approximately $10,000. And that's just to become average. Two months in a row we have seen league members advance through large fields of players at Little Creek Casino and win substantial cash payouts. We would like to believe that the experience they have acquired through free league play has been instrumental in helping to develop their game to this level.
Individuals are no longer required to redeem their casino monthly vouchers on a monthly basis. Effective immediately a player may accumulate vouchers during a "season" and redeem them at a single casino monthly. The league will not be conducting a Casino Monthly during November or December.

Beginning in 2009 a season will last from February thru April, May thru July, August thru October and November thru January, with all sponsored player vouchers earned during the season redeemable not later than the month following the end of the season. Vouchers that have not been redeemed by the deadline are forfeit.
 Perfect AttendancePlayers that have perfect attendance during a month on a given night of play at a venue will recieve 2 GPF points. Players that accumulate 20 GPF points will be awarded a seat at the next GPF Washington State Amateur Poker Championship. Perfect attendance points will be awarded for play beginning with June play. |
