Congratulations to Cole Johnson of Grand Forks, North Dakota, who captured the title in the Friday Night Turbo at the L.I.S.T.E.N. INC Monster Stack weekend at the Canad Inn!

In an incredible story, Cole outlasted a field of 61 players with 84 rebuys/add-ons, generating a $12,150 prize pool, and took home $3,600 in cash for the victory. Even more impressive, this was Cole’s very first live poker tournament! Talk about making a debut in style.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the event and L.I.S.T.E.N. INC. We appreciate all the players who traveled to Grand Forks and made the night a huge success.
