Texas Hold ‘em tournament rescheduled
Sport Management Club tournament postponed due to lack of fundraising license.

A no-limit Texas Hold ‘em poker tournament was canceled last Sunday.

The Washington State Gambling Commission told the Crimson Crew, a group of five students enrolled in Sport Management 489, that it is illegal to charge any kind of a fee to play poker unless they have a fundraising license, which costs $400. The tournament has been rescheduled for Dec. 5 at noon at Zeppoz, where a fundraising license will be provided.

The group started the tournament to support the Sport Management Club.

The registration fee for the tournament is $10, and all proceeds go toward the club.

The top three winners will take home Visa Gift Cards with values of $25, $50 and $100. “The tournament will last about four to five hours, and we’re restricting the number players from 80 to about 30 because of the location change,” said Wes Pinard, a Crimson Crew administrator and senior sports management major.
