Win a poker tournament, go to the Super Bowl
The Palm Beach Kennel Club is giving away two Super Bowl tickets and amenities as part of its tournament Saturday.
Buy-in is $100. Registration is at noon, tournament starts at 1 p.m.
The tournament is part of what the kennel club is calling "Football Fanatic Month." Those wearing football attire get in free.
Other activities include:
Jeff DeForrest of WFTL 850AM will be at the poker room entrance to meet and greet players and guests from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. and conduct the giveaways. (I liked it when he hosted Dolphins games and the "Punt Bomb" contests.)
Enter to win a 10-Day Caribbean Cruise for two from MSC Cruises. Entries must be turned in before the start of the afternoon’s 10th race and the cruise will be awarded after race 12.
ESPN Radio 760AM is running a "Guess How Much The Super Suitcase Weighs" contest from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Whoever comes closest to the weight of the "Super Suitcase" will win two round-trip tickets to anywhere in the continental United States aboard Northwest Airlines.
Palm Beach Central High's marching band will perform on the track from 6:30 - 7 p.m.
Semifinal action for the $40,000 He’s My Man Classic. (Races 6 and 10)
For information, call 561-683-2222.
NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
