A true cross-section of the Silver City, New Mexico community – young, old, ranchers, farmers, hikers, bikers, professors, miners, students, and more – as well as visitors will come together for the 8th annual Silver City CLAY Festival Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Tournament. The Tournament will be held on Saturday, January 25, 2020 from 3-10 pm at the Murray Hotel Ballroom at 200 West Broadway in downtown Silver City.
Local poker aficionado, King Crowder, will host for the second year in a row. Players will play Texas Hold ‘Em through the afternoon and evening, enjoying one of the world’s most popular forms of poker.
“First, the people that play are gracious, fun, and entertaining,” said James Pagels, who has played in the tournament every year. “Second is the community spirit involved. The time and effort dedicated is awe-inspiring. Lastly, the poker is competitive and fun – it’s always a joy to donate to the local efforts!”
Popular since its inception during the CLAY Festival’s inaugural year, the tournament is a draw for both locals and visitors, and many participants have returned year after year.
James’ wife Bailey, who has seen him play in the Tournament every year, comments that, “for folks who take poker seriously, but like to have a good time, this game is the game of the year. The prizes are always worth the climb to the top.”
Players will be placed at round tables in the Murray Hotel Ballroom, a new venue for this beloved event, and will play Texas Hold ‘Em until only ten players remain. The final ten players will choose among prizes, including a stay at a Flagstaff condo resort with a golf course and swimming pool. Seats are limited for the Tournament, and players may register at https://clayfestival.com/2020-poker-tournament-registration until all spots are filled.
“It’s one of the few times you really see a broad mix of our community together,” said Lee Gruber, founder of the CLAY Festival. “People sit down to play poker, to play a game – it’s a pleasure to see.”
When you play, you can have fun and rejoice in supporting Silver City’s CLAY Festival. For more information, visit www.CLAYfestival.com.
