Friends, Romans, Fellow Country Men and Women:
Please take notice that you are hereby personally invited to attend the

3rd ANNUAL BET TZEDEK CHARITY POKER TOURNAMENT
Sunday, MAY 16, 2010
Lunch at noon
Play begins at 1:00 pm
 
No rake. No fake. Nice take.

Half of the buy-in pool goes directly unfiltered to charity (Bet Tzedek) to help the poor and needy of LA obtain the best donated and pro-bono legal services.

The other half goes to winners like you.  Top ten finishers at least guaranteed substantial cash depending on number of players, and there will be other prizes.  If you can help us recruit exciting players, and obtain prizes and gifts for participants, it will make the event more interesting!
 
We are limited to 120 players.  So sign up NOW.  This will definitely sell out! 
 
The tournament will be held at a private home -- details to be disclosed later to confirmed guests -- located off the Bel Air golf course in lower Bel Air above Sunset and UCLA in West LA.  We thank our generous host again in advance.
