NATC, The Race for Education sponsoring poker tournament in Ocala

The National Association of Two-Year-Old Consignors and The Race for Education will jointly sponsor a no-limit Texas hold’em poker tournament with a grand prize of $5,000 on March 22 at the Ocala Hilton.
The tournament will coincide with the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. select sale of two-year-olds in training on March 22 and 23. The winner will receive a place at the table in the Showdown round on April 16 in Lexington. The Showdown winner will earn a seat in the World Series of Poker tournament in Las Vegas.

"We are very excited to be sponsoring this tournament, particularly with the escalating interest in poker across the nation," NATC board member Mike Mulligan said. "The timing could not be better. People will be coming to Florida from all parts of the country, ready to have some fun, and what better way to do that than play no-limit Texas hold’em poker, and support a great charity."
