Here's what you missed at the...
Coffey County Chamber of Commerce
TEXAS HOLD'EM POKER TOURNAMENT
Saturday, November 11, 2006, at the 4-H Building, Kelley Park, Burlington, Kansas

The Coffey County Chamber of Commerce poker tournament was a great success with 50 participants from 11 cities in the surrounding area. Participants came from Burlington, Lebo, Madison, Le Roy, Gridley, Topeka, La Harpe, Moran, Chanute, New Strawn, and Yates Center.



Play began at 6 p.m. with breaks about every hour (blind increases were at 20 minute intervals) and lasted until about 10 p.m. with the final table being seated around 9 p.m. Everyone enjoyed the tournament and most players stayed around after elimination to have a sandwich and watch the other players.

We had a great time hosting this annual event and hope you will join us for the next event for more great poker and prizes!
