We take a break from our regularly scheduled documenting and whining about ovarian cancer, for an important announcement.
My favorite husband parlayed a $20 bill, into an entry into the Heartland Poker Tour (HPT)!! He won a small tournament, entered a super-satellite and won that for an entry to the satellite, which he made it to the top 20% in order to win a seat to the main event! He is amazing.

He will be playing Saturday night at the Majestic Star Casino, and hopefully playing Sunday, and finally Monday, when the final 6 players compete. That final table will be televised.
It has been a dream of his to compete in a large scale tournament of this sort. But we certainly could not have afforded the $2,500 entry fee! I just wanted to say how proud I am of him, and his skills. Congrats honey - and good luck!

You don't know me, but I might meet your husband this weekend. My name is Chris Hanson and I'm one of the announcers/hosts of the Heartland Poker Tour Television Show. It really made me smile to read your proud blog of your hubby! I hope that he has the best of luck and my best wishes to you as well. Hopefully I will have a chance to meet your husband this weekend in Gary. I'll be there Friday night till Monday night. You blog is exactly what our tournaments are all about...real everyday people who can buy in for little to nothing and win life changing money!
Thanks Chris! Life changing money sounds fantastic! :)
