On Saturday, January 29, 2011, Raue Center For The Arts hosted its 2nd Annual Hold ‘Em Tournament on stage at 26 N. Williams Street in downtown Crystal Lake to help raise money for the organization’s educational programming. The tournament hosted 100 attendees and raised a record total of over $10,000.
Participants in this year’s event played for the grand prize of $250 cash, a Hold ‘Em t-shirt, one entry into Raue Center’s 2012 tournament, an Apple iPad with leather case, and a Las Vegas vacation package for two. This year’s winner was Richard Naponelli of Chicago. Other prizes were given to top ten finalists. Due to the charitable nature of this tournament, cash was only given to the top two finalists and the grand prizewinner.
The event included poker enthusiasts and supporters of Raue Center For The Arts. Tournament sponsors included Sage Products, Northwest Herald, Other World Computing and Chas. Herdrich and Son, Inc. Other sponsors included INTREN, Working World, Top Quality Finish, The UPS Store, The Beautiful Nut Company, AFTR Group, as well as Galloway’s Chicago Subs and Georgio’s Chicago Pizzeria and Pub who provided food during the event.
