Next Seminole $3,000 tournament helps Ann Storck Center

The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino will host the third in a series of $3,000 buy-in charity poker tournaments to benefit local non-profit organizations on Aug. 22-24 in the Poker Room at Seminole Paradise.

Players can choose either of the first days of play, either 10 a.m. Aug. 22 or 23, with the second day of play on Aug. 24.

The benefit this time is the Ann Storck Center, which serves children and adults in South Florida afflicted with severe and multiple developmental disabilities.

To date, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino has donated $60,000 to charity. The Miami Beach Health Foundation has received $40,000 from the inaugural May tournament that saw Doron Malinasky of Hollywood win first-place prize of $98,280, according to the release (he actually brokered a deal and took less); while the Hollywood Police Athletic League (PAL) tournament in July netted $20,000 and awarded $56,300 to Richard Kirsch of Pompano.

Registration begins Aug. 15 in the Poker Room at Seminole Paradise. Cash sales only. With the purchase of a buy-in, each player will receive 20,000 starting units. For more information, call 954-327-ROCK.
