The University Daily Kansan will host a Texas Hold’em poker tournament tonight at Abe and Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St. The tournament will begin at 8 p.m. and should last about four hours, Chris Pumpelly, Kansan promotions manager, said.

The tournament, which is expected to bring in more than 100 people, is free to participants, Pumpelly said, but a $10 cash donation is appreciated.

All proceeds from the event will benefit the KU Habitat for Humanity, a student organization that gives students the opportunity to build housing for lower-income families.

Prizes for the tournament were donated by local businesses or purchased by the Kansan. The grand prize is a 40-gigabyte Apple iPod, Pumpelly said.

Last year’s poker tournament raised more than $1,000 for KU graduate and meningitis survivor Andy Marso.
