Congratulations to Jackson Roberts for winning our 17th Annual Tampa Police Charity Tournament. He will forever been on our championship trophy. Thanks, Jackson for donating $100 back to charity. His father, Craig Roberts came in second and donated the entire $430 back to charity. Mark Durina came in third. 

We had 42 players, with five tables. 

Joe Dobrinski won the 50/50 for $235 and donated $100 back. Craig Roberts won a gift card for his four 8’s Lynda Wallack won $50 in gift cards and Mark Yost won a gift card, also from the 50/50. I gave away many door prizes. 

Our next event will be August 2nd. This event will be a normal event with some food located in the poker room. We will only have the first break add-on. 

 Thanks for your continued support.  

Every regular event will have a first break add-on for $20 and you will receive 5,000 chips. Every event will also allow a player to re-buy during the first hour for $50 to receive 10,000 chips. Remember, you must have at least one chip to qualify for the $20 first break add-on. However, if you want to forfeit your chips at the end of the first hour, you may do so and re-enter for $50 and 10,000 chips. You may then do an add-on for another $20 and 5,000 chips. 

2025 Events:   February 01, April 05, June 07, (dinner buffet included), August 02, October 04 and December 6th.  The Tournament of Champions event will be Saturday, January 06th, 2026.
