Registration has officially closed at the Dead Money Open at the M&J Saloon in West Fargo, North Dakota.

An incredible 85 players came out to support the Dakota Poker Tour and West Fargo Hockey, generating a prize pool of over $22,000. 

West Fargo Hockey wanted to truly give back to the players, withholding only 10%, resulting in a maximum payout returned to the field — thank you for that generosity!

Payouts:
1st – $6,500
2nd – $4,100
3rd – $3,000
4th – $2,100
5th – $1,640
6th – $1,400
7th – $1,200
8th – $900
9th – $700
10th – $600

A huge thank you to Dee and the entire staff at the M&J Saloon for making our players feel welcome and taking care of everything we needed — we truly appreciate you.

And of course, thank you to all of our dealers who came out, worked tirelessly, and gave it their all to help put on another fantastic tournament. We couldn’t do this without you.
