Charity Poker Tournaments – Raise money for your charity group with a Texas Hold’em fundraiser poker tournament.

Running the Event

As your guests arrive, they will be given a seat card. This will tell them their starting table and seat number. Upon arriving at the table, the tournament director will direct them to their seat, collect the seat card and give the player their starting chips.

Once all players are seated, the tournament director will announce to the players to “Shuffle Up and Deal” as seen on many televised poker tournaments. Any late players will still be allowed to play. A position will be held for them and any blind bets will be removed from their chip stacks as if they were folding their hands.

Play begins with each player receiving an equal amount of chips. There will be two “Blinds” posted per hand to force action. As play progresses, the amount of the “Blinds” increase. The tournament director will customize the “Blind” amounts based upon the starting chip stacks as well as the number of players in the tournament and scheduled length of the event.  Most events will take 3 hours but larger events can take longer.

As play continues, players will be eliminated from the tournament. The tournament director will continually move players around and balance out the tables to try to keep the numbers of players at each table even.
