This weekend

Put on your poker face and head to the Crimson Café in the Burge Union tomorrow for a Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Tournament. The free event, hosted by Student Union Activities, will begin at 5 p.m., with registration beginning at 4:30 p.m.

The first place winner receives $250, second place gets $150 and third place wins $50. SUA games committee member Kelly Morgan, Lawrence freshman, says this is the third year SUA has held the tournament, and she says about 200 people have attended in past years.

“For the people who enjoy poker, it’s a great opportunity to hang around with peers having a similar interest, and it’s something fun and unique to do on a Friday night,” Morgan says.
