NLHE Series – January 1, 2025

This month we played No Limit Hold’em 9 handed to kick off the 2025 season of our NLHE Championship Series.

Mudslinger1942 (Jack Petschl) battled elvida11 (Joe Kulas) heads up after defeating the remaining field of 50 players to earn his first NLHE Championship Series title in 2025. This makes 13 total lifetime wins in official Rec.Poker Home Games.

appleomyi (Harold Berry), kellis196220 (Kelli Storck), Larsensopening (George Borden), gibber3 (Jim Gibson), MikeB172 (Mike Baer), rabman50 (Rob Washam), and aces54320 (Kathy Chang) rounded out the final table.

Mudslinger1942 (Jack Petschl) has started with a lead in the 2025 NLHE Championship Series Player of the Year points race. Only the top 10 scores count toward the Player of the Year points race, so you can still compete even if you miss a couple of events.
