Carol “CKBWoP” Anderson made this donkey as a bust-out gift for the main event.
BARGE 2025 was held at The Orleans Hotel & Casino from July 28 through August 2. This was our first time back at the Orleans since 1999!
Our banquet speaker was Chris “Fox” Wallace. 101 players entered the No Limit event, won by Gillian “tegwin” Groves. Tournaments included pot-limit Omaha, Team CHORSE, a bounty no-limit tournament with a 2-7 game, the wonderfully named Whammy CAR, and, in a true throwback, a Limit Hold’em tournament. Binglaha made its triumphant return to the Reindeer Games.
We have full results as well as the archived schedule and tournament structures.
Thanks to the Orleans for hosting, as well as letting us borrow Big Al for our logo this year.
