Congregation Beth Israel to Hold Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament

Congregation Beth Israel will hold a Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament on Wednesday, June 5, starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Scotch Plains synagogue. The event is open to the community.

Proceeds from the tournament will benefit non-profit and local outreach activities performed by the Men’s Club of Congregation Beth Israel, the event’s sponsor.

The tournament will be run by a professional company using licensed dealers and professional equipment. Drinks and light snacks will be served. Prizes will be awarded to the final table.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Shuffle up and deal begins at 7:00 p.m.

“This is the second year that the Men’s Club is sponsoring a Texas Hold ‘Em tournament. Last year’s event attracted a large crowd and was a lot of fun, and we are expecting this year’s event to be even better,” said Michael Margolin, President of Congregation Beth Israel’s Men’s Club. “But it’s not just a fun evening. Funds from the tournament go towards helping our Men's Club do its non-profit work in the synagogue and community."

The registration fee is $100 for 5,000 chips. The synagogue is offering an Early Bird Special: registrants who sign up before May 25 will receive an additional 1,000 chips. Seating is limited, so early registration is encouraged.
