The 7th Annual Missouri River Poker Run was held on Saturday - July 16th out of Dodge Park Marina in Omaha. 

The weather was hot-hot-hot but it certainly didn't stop the 115 registered boats from participating in this event.

We sold 562 hands of poker and raised $962 for the Make-a-Wish of Nebraska foundation. We also gave away quite a sum of money to the lucky winners.

 

The following are results from this year's run:
 
1st place Brad Olsen $1,967 4 aces / king high
2nd place Paul Cederstrand $1,405 4 aces / 5 high
3rd place Roman $843 4 kings / queen high
4th place Dave Feder $562 4 jacks / queen high
5th place John George $281 3 aces / 2 queens

We would like to thank all of our sponsor's who helped make this event a success. Thanks to:
 

Superior Honda of Omaha
Omaha Marine Center
A.C. Nelsen RV World
EGS Marine & Auto Detailing
Lincoln Marine Omaha
Auto Enhancements
Rick's Cafe Boatyard
Xtreme Boat Detailing
Lakewood Electric
Anchor Inn
Cottonwood Marina

 
A special thanks also to those individuals who tolerated the heat and manned the poker run stops during the day. All in all, it was a great day for boating and a wonderful way for people to meet on the river.

We still have a limited amount of t-shirts and tanks available at the low discounted price of just $5 each. Please call 402-571-7602 if interested in purchasing one.

Pictures will be posted in the next few days. If you have pictures from the poker run that you would like to share, please forward them to:  info@omahariverfront.com

Thanks to everyone who participated and we hope to see you again next year! OmahaRiverFront.com - An On-Line Resource for River News, Information, Resources, Recreation and Travel
