2005 Missouri River Poker Run

By NANCY NEUROHR

The 7th Annual Missouri River Poker Run was held on Saturday - July 16th out of Dodge Park Mrina 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:

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.
