The Inaugural 1st. District Texas Hold 'Em Tournaments held at River Park #2578 on Sunday Nov. 1st. and at Berwyn #424 on Saturday Nov. 7th. produced 2 days of exhilirating poker.

At River Park, Jerry Tamburrino of River Park defeated Richard Benjamin and a field of 43 other players to capture the 1st place prize of $500.00 and an entry into the 2010 Moose International Texas Hold 'Em event in Las Vegas.

At Berwyn, Tom Camros of Lombard #2350 defeated Pete Mugavero of Berwyn to earn his entry in a very spirited final table.

Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone that attended and helped out at both Lodges.

We are looking forward to holding and event of this kind again next year as a fundraiser for the 1st. District.

Tournament Chairman
