RDU Kontenders Poker came to play—and play big—at this year’s Bar Poker Open!

Gorav Sangal wasted no time grabbing chips and glory, taking down the nightly Deep Stack.

Meanwhile, Roger Cook and Mike Meerkreebs proved that teamwork makes the dream work, conquering the Doubles field with style.

In the Main Event, Nancy Wilburn battled her way to a strong 32nd-place finish and a well-earned cash.

But the crown jewel of the tournament? That belongs to Ron Fienberg, your 2025 Bar Poker Open Champion!

Ron’s run was nothing short of legendary, and we couldn’t be more proud to have him bring home the title while repping Kontenders on the biggest stage. Congratulations, Ron—what a phenomenal accomplishment!

A heartfelt thank you to all our players who made the trip and threw down at the tables. Your passion, grit, and loyalty are what make Kontenders Poker more than just a league—we’re a family. Let’s keep stacking chips, stacking wins, and showing the poker world what we’re made of.
