What's so special about 180 or so poker fans taking part in a poker run? Well, if they do it on snowmobiles, it makes for quite an interesting story. Residents of Plumas county, in northern California, made the most of a recent winter storm and saddled up their snowmobiles to participate in a frosty poker run. The idea was the same, though – snowmobilers had to collect poker cards at predetermined stops along a 50-mile route, with the person holding the best hand at the end of the run winning a $250 top prize.
The snowmobile poker run was hosted by the Lake Almanor Snowmobile Club, located in the sparsely-populated region, adjacent to the California-Nevada border, and took just over four hours to complete. In addition to the top prize, which went to a hand of four kings, two other prizes of slightly lesser value were given out to a person holding quad twos and another person with a full house.
Will snowmobile poker runs be the next new sport at the Winter Olympics? Well, unless it debuts at ESPN's Winter X Games first, probably not. But hey, you never know ...
