We had a terrific turnout for our first Texas Hold'em Tournament. Nearly 80 men and women from B'nai Tikvah and the surrounding community. There was good food, lots of prizes and some very exciting play. Thank you to all the volunteers who made this happen, and to David Cukor, who conceived of this event.
