Today, Faded Spade and the Heartland Poker Tour (HPT) announced a continued partnership for Faded Spade to remain the choice playing card brand of the HPT.

In addition to remaining the choice playing card brand of the HPT, Faded Spade, the poker industry’s fastest-growing playing card company, will have its cards featured on the HPT’s nationally televised broadcast of the HPT Westgate Resorts Main Event, scheduled for March 7-13, 2019.

“When I first saw the unique design of Faded Spade cards, I was intrigued,” said Korey Stewart, HPT marketing manager. “Once I got my hands on a deck, I was even more impressed. It was great to see a fresh look and feel to a key component of the game that had essentially gone unchanged for decades. We began using Faded Spade almost right away and found that players and dealers enjoyed them. Now, we use Faded Spade playing cards at all HPT televised final tables.”

“We choose to use Faded Spade playing cards during Heartland Poker Tour final tables because of their great quality and the fact that players love them,” added Jeremy Smith, HPT tournament director. “If you are a poker room operator or a recreational player looking for cards, I highly recommend ordering Faded Spade playing cards. You will not regret it.”

Tom Wheaton, CEO of Faded Spade, chimed in “Faded Spade is proud to continue its partnership with the Heartland Poker Tour. The tour’s commitment to providing the best playing experience for all players shines through the hard work and dedication of Korey, Jeremy, and the entire HPT staff. Faded Spade could not be more pleased to continue to work with the HPT and its venue partners to help raise the experience of Heartland Poker Tour events everywhere.”

Roberts Finds Another Gear

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Dapo Ajayi opened to 160,000 and Reginald Roberts moved all in. Ajayi thought for a bit and let his hand go.

On the next hand Ajayi opened to 160,000 again and Roberts raised to 475,000. Ajayi called and the flop came {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Roberts moved all in and Ajayi tank-folded.

Abuzar Doubles Up

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Dapo Ajayi open-shoved all in on the button and Karim Abuzar called from the big blind after some thought.

Abuzar: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Ajayi: {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Abuzar couldn't watch the board run, so he stood up and turned his back to the table. The board ran {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, Abuzar's queens held and he returned to a seven-figure stack.

Daniel Wojcik Doubles Through Dodson

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ryan Dodson opened for 175,000, John Sacha called and Daniel Wojcik moved all in for just a touch over a million. Dodson moved in over the top, Sacha got out of the way and the hands were tabled.

Dodson: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Wojcik: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The board ran {Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, Wojcik spiked his queen to the roar of his rail and doubled up.

One of his friends on the rail commented that Wojcik will win because he has a black hawk on his sweater.
