The tournament will be held online on Thursday, March 31, 2022, at 7:00 PM CT.

The game will be played in our custom branded, browser-based card room. No need to download any software! In addition to the tournament, we will be utilizing the Zoom meeting platform so that players can see and talk to other competitors seated at their tables.

Tournament Prizes:
1st Place: $750 Gift Card
2nd Place: $250 Gift Card
3rd Place: $100 Gift Card

There will be a Last Woman Standing prize in honor of Marlene Gurtz. The Last Woman Standing Prize celebrates the perseverance and determination of the winning player just as pulmonary fibrosis warrior Marlene Gurtz battled her lung disease. The Last Woman Standing prize is powered by PLON, the world’s largest women’s poker organization!

The player who has the most rebuys will receive a $100 Gift Card.

The game will be held online and can be played from a web browser of your choice. We recommend playing on a computer, but a tablet or phone will also work! We will give a brief presentation before the cards fly at 7:00 PM CT. Once the tournament starts, we will assign everyone to breakout rooms that correspond to their poker table so that players can see and talk to the other competitors seated at their table. We encourage all players to join Zoom to ensure they have no issues, learn more about the organization, and interact with fellow players.
