Congratulations to Ron James of Mapleton, North Dakota, your Hole In One Champion!

Ron outlasted a field of 93 players to take home $7,000 in cash after a great day of poker and competition.

A huge thank you to the Angry Beaver Lodge in Oakes, North Dakota for hosting another outstanding event. We also extend our appreciation to the Hole In One Foundation for generously taking only the state minimum and returning the maximum prize pool back to the players. Your continued support of both the community and the poker players does not go unnoticed.

It was great seeing so many familiar faces and welcoming new players to the felt. Competitors traveled from across North Dakota, Minnesota, and South Dakota to support this event and the Hole In One mission.

We’ll see everyone at our next stop March 13–14 for the L.I.S.T.E.N. Inc Monster Stack in Grand Forks, ND.
