Poker Tournament & UFC Watch Party
Fri, Jun 11th
The city of Chicago has cancelled its July 3 fireworks display, but all is not lost. Come play poker for your favorite local charity and watch UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar in his much anticipated comeback fight against undefeated interim title holder Shane Carwin.
Pick a Charity
Choose a local charity that you’d like to play for. Pick an organization that does good work and could really use the money. Everyone will announce who they’re playing for at the start of the game.
Buy In
The minimum buy-in to play is $20 cash with all the money going to the winner’s charity of choice. If you get bumped out early enough, you can buy back in for another minimum buy-in of $20.
Game Play
The game is tournament style no-limit Texas Hold’em. Don’t worry if you don’t know the rules. We’ll have a lesson beforehand, and it’s super easy to learn.
UFC 116
While the poker is going on, we’ll project the UFC fights onto a massive screen so everyone can watch throughout the room. We’ll take a short break from poker when heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar and undefeated interim title holder Shane Carwin square off in what should be a pretty riveting battle.
R.S.V.P.
Feel free to invite anyone. RSVP and sign up to bring snacks, drinks or extra sets of poker chips.
