Get Ready for the FPN Clash of Kings & Queens National Championship Main Event
The FPN Vegas National Championship continues on today at the Golden Nugget with the Tag Team Championship, an event giving duos a shot at $1,000 and the championship belts.
It's already been an exciting FPN Vegas National Championship festival, including the Royal Court National Championship that produced two winners, Steve Belland and 20-year FPN veteran Glenn Schaefers, who both won $12,000 packages to the WSOP Main Event, as well as yesterday's Tag Team event won by Joel and Nikki Smith.
The championship event kicks off at 10 a.m. local time and will feature 30-minute levels, with late entry open through Level 4. The top 27 places will be paid and the eventual winner will earn $25,000 cash.
Like the previous two events, action will be live reporting by PokerNews and also streamed on the FPN YouTube channel. PokerNews updates will begin at 11 a.m. local time.
Last year's 2025 FPN Desert Dash-For-Cash Championship Main Event saw Marion Massmann winning Minnesota's Billy's Bar & Grill a fourth championship title and $25,000.
The final table also included Suzanne Barsalow (6th - $3,400), Elisabeth Walker (4th - $5,000) and runner-up Skyler Sand (2nd - $15,000).
