​​​​​Congratulations to the Winner of

Season 1, 2025 Finals and to our Back to Back Champion​ William Laufenberg!

 

The 2025 Season One Finals were held Saturday, April 12th 2025 Session 1 Tournament. We had an amazing turn out with 57 players, so thank you for coming out and having a great time! Thank you Pam and Sandy for running a smooth event, you guys did a great job! Allen Casey locked up the high hand of the night pretty early with a straight flush. WTG, Allen! We definitely witnessed some great battles and had some amazing comebacks, but with JP Walcott having dominated the tables most of the day, it was a shocker to see him taken out 4th, when Will Bill pulled out a flush on the river with JP's own favorite hand 8/7. That's gotta hurt. The most epic battle was between TK Martin and Wild Bill heads up! Congratulations TK, you put up a great fight! With back to back wins, we crowned Wild Bill Laufenberg as the Tournament Champion!  

Let's not forget our JPA Coveted Awards, and the winners are  David Collins wins Loyalty Royalty for playing with JPA for over 2 decades, Anthony Grantham wins the Lucky Horseshoe, anyone that can win 4 straight days in a row definitely deserves that one! Val Newby wins for playing the most venues, she plays anywhere and everywhere there are cards being dealt, somebody give her some gas money! Lynn Cannon wins Facebook Supporter, you will see her always congratulating our winners and cheering you on! Sid Williams wins Fan Favorite, because let’s face it, it’s Sid! One of our newest members has quickly become popular because she is always so much fun to be around, so the Just Have Fun award goes to Linda Hixson! Brenda Watford picks up an award for being The person least likely to win an award . If you play with her, you know she is always saying that she'll never win an award, so there you go Brenda! TK Martin wins Most Likely to Win the WSOP with her average being 28.7 points per game. Watch out for her, she will take all of your chips! Denis Abromavage ironically wins an award for not winning. He has racked up over 400 points this session without a single win. We are rooting for you Denis! Last but not least Cliff Naslund takes an award for the most wins, 15 to be exact! What a great run, can he do it again this session? Congratulations to all of our winners! Get out there and play and you could be one of our next big winners! Most of all Just Have Fun!​​​​​​​​​
