Casino Social is the Austin Young Chamber’s longest-running fundraiser, and one that our members and their peers look forward to all year long.

We’re playing a no-limit Texas Hold ‘Em tournament online and also hanging out on Zoom. Better work on your poker face! The winner will choose a 501(c)3 charity of their choice to receive a Grand Prize of $1,000!*

5:30pm | Welcome, Pre-Game Registration, and Poker Lesson
- You’ll be able to hop into a Zoom breakout room where a dealer will get you signed into the poker site. Players will have the option to get lessons or hang out in a social room until it is time for the event to start.
- Each player will need two windows open, one for Zoom and one internet browser for the poker website. You can use the same computer or add a second device if you prefer.
6:00pm | Virtual Poker Tournament
- All players will start with the same number of chips and will be moved to the breakout rooms that correspond with their randomly assigned tables.
- As players are knocked out, they will have the option to stay and observe their table or any of the other tables. They may also participate in a 2nd Chance Poker Game. The dealer will explain their options and help facilitate any moves. Re-buys and add-ons will not be available for the tournament.
- The game will be played until there are 9 players – the “Final Table”.
