Conflicting venue schedules have caused organizers of Vacaville's first Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament, a fund-raiser for the local homeless shelter, to change the event's date.
The tournament will be Feb. 12 - a week later than previously announced - in the historic Opera House at Main and Davis streets in downtown Vacaville.
Prompt check-in is still 5 p.m. Participants will compete for prizes in a Vegas-style casino, complete with dealers, a pit boss, Texas Hold'em poker tables, entertainment, appetizers, a bar, a Loser's Lounge and a silent auction.
The tournament is open to the public and can accommodate nearly 300 people, players and spectators.
Vacaville's Opportunity House is building on the soaring popularity of no-limit Texas Hold'em poker. For a $150 donation, each player receives a seat at a table, two complimentary drink tickets and the opportunity to compete for donated prizes.
The first-place poker player wins a Caribbean cruise for two with airfare included.
The tournament is the first of what organizers hope will be an annual event to help fund operation of Vacaville's Opportunity House.
For tickets or information, contact Jamie Hearn at 446-3761 or Carrie Foley at 455-2206.
