Boys and Girls Club has charity poker tourney
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward County are holding their fourth annual charity poker tournament and social event, on Oct. 23 at the Diplomat Country Club & Spa, 501 Diplomat Pkwy., Hallandale Beach.
First prize is a seat at the World Series of Poker. Second place is a diamond tennis bracelet.
This is the tournament that Steve Feren won in 2007, back when he was mayor of Sunrise. Now a circuit court judge, Feren went on to place 472nd in the field of 6,484 in July (he deferred his WSOP entry for a year), cashing in for $25,027.
Entry is $100 and includes a free buffet. For buffet only and for spectators, it's $25.
The event is in memory of former club member Dennis Sutton, who died Oct. 24, 2006. Sutton, who made a living as the maitre d' at Joe's Stone Crab, help the club raise thousands of dollars and was a board member for the Hollywood club. There is now a scholarship fund set up in his name.
