2026 FPN Vegas National Championship
Poker player Eric Reinhardt went on extreme tilt in a Las Vegas poker tournament after having his aces cracked twice by the same opponent.
The hands took place during the Clash of Kings & Queens National Championship at the FPN Vegas National Championship festival at the Golden Nugget Las Vegas, a series that PokerNews is on-site live reporting.
One of the hands involved quads, the other involved a runner-runner straight, and both involved Marvin Rumer.
The FPN Ladies Championship is underway and has grown to six tables in the back of the Nugget ballroom.
The $50 buy-in event is open to all ladies and will have late registration open through Level 4.
The field includes Minnesota's Marion Massmann, the winner of last year's 2025 Desert Dash-For-Cash Championship.
