Texas Hold 'Em Poker Tournament and Blackjack

On Saturday, September 10, 2011, over 50 Poker and Blackjack Players descended onto the beautiful Patio Grounds behind the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2323 in Granada Hills and participated in a great event supporting the Granada Hills Chamber of Commerce.

Headed by Chamber Board Member Laine Caspi and supported by Gary Farajian, Ruth Koenig with special advisors: John Weitkamp, Rob Dickey and Steve Baker, the event ended in a three way first place tie in the Texas Hold 'Em and top prize of a helicopter ride and picnic for two was agreed to by the three players to go to Granada Hills Rotarian Leo Levy.
