The Silverton Firehouse will be hosting a Texas Hold-Em Poker Tournament, at the Firehouse on Friday April 28th, and players are wanted!

The tournament will be held at the Silverton Firehouse at 15 Kettle Creek Road, in Toms River. The firehouse doors will open at 6pm and the tournament is scheduled to begin at 7pm.

There is a one hundred dollar buy in, with re-buys available. Prizes will be awarded to the top 10 finishers, based on 100 players participating. So they are really hoping for a good turnout!

Now, poker players get hungry and thirsty. However, the fine folks at the Silverton Volunteer Fire Company #29's Ladies Auxiliary will be providing food, water, and soda for purchase. Furthermore, the event is BYOB.

So, if you think you have what it takes to win a 100 person poker tournament, or you just want to have a fun Friday night out, playing poker with your friends and neighbors, sign up!

Lastly, to reserve your spot or if you have any questions, you can contact Tammy of the Silverton Volunteer Fire Company Lady's Axiliary, at 732-908-0943.
