Aims2Cure Poker Tournament February 2010

Our last two Poker events have been a huge success. In March 2009 we raised £5000 and the most recent held in The Village Hotel, Elstree on 4th February 2010 raised over £10,000.

In February 2010 our poker expert, Alex Frost ran the evening for 75 players. After a fierce knockout competition, the 9 finalists played on and at 1.30am, Howard Daly was crowned winner and Jamie Rishover runner up.

The prize money was split (a decision taken by the final 9) so every one of the finalists took a cash prize home. The winner won £750 and runner up £500.

We also held a fabulous raffle, the prizes being a complimentary round of golf for 4 at The Grove on the world championship course and a weekend away. An exciting auction of an Executive Box at the Tottenham Hotspur Vs Arsenal match in April also helped boost our fundraising efforts.

Thanks must also go to Lawrence Samuels of Yummies in Radlett who indeed provided us with yummy snacks and to Daniels Bakery, Temple Fortune and Parkway Patisserie, Temple Fortune for the donating delicious cakes.

Thanks to all who attended, it was great to see so many familiar faces (and some new ones) and we hope to announce the date of our next tournament soon.
