Announcing
St. Gabriel's International Festival
No Limit Texas Hold'em Poker Tournaments

June 17, 18 & 19, 2010

Note date & time changes! Thur-Sat rather than our usual Fri-Sun.
Pardon our dust. Due to construction we will be outdoors in a tent again subject to weather.

If you have watched professional poker tournaments on televisionand have wondered what it would be like to push all of your chips in and "flop the nut-flush" or "hit the gutshot straight on the river" then this is your chance! Once again St. Gabriel's International Festival will be offering no limit poker tournaments each night of the festival.

The final table will have 9 players. Players should arrive 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time to draw for seating. Players arriving late must forfeit blinds as if they had been present but sitting out. We will make every attempt to complete the tournament with only one player remaining however there is a time limit.  The tournament will end no later than 12 midnight. Proceeds benefit St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish.

About Our Rules

While many charity poker tournaments distribute only a brief set of 10 or 20 rule statements and offer little information about blind levels, payout structure, and specific procedures, we at St. Gabriel want you to know what to expect and you put your money down and join our charity event. For example our house cut donation to our charity is among the smallest percentage is you will find anywhere in this area. We also recognize there is a wide variety of experience and our players. Some are novices and some are nearly professional. We want to have specific rules and procedures available that will help mitigate any disputes or misunderstandings. Therefore in 2007 we completely revised our rules based upon the Poker Tournament Directors Association rules and Roberts Rules of Poker which are considered to be the standard documents in the field. We have continued to revise and improve these rules.

We are distributing these rules in two documents:

  • Basic tournament rules including St. Gabriel specific rules. A printed version of this document will be given to all participants at registration.
  • A five page set of appendices which includes detailed rules for those unfamiliar with the game as well as advanced special circumstances rules.

Rather than distribute such a lengthy document to everyone it is available here on the web site and printed copies will be available upon request. This lengthier document includes a detailed description of game play for novices, explanation of the procedures for conducting a chip race, explanation of the "dead button rule" and dealing with other unusual circumstances such as missdeals, exposed cards, and other rarely encountered mistakes and circumstances. We felt it important to put these more obscure rules and procedures in writing to avoid possible disputes.

These rules have been updated June 2, 2010

We welcome your feedback on these revised rules and procedures. Please send your comments by e-mail to tournament director Chris Young at cy_borg5@cyborg5.com.
