Poker Run

Gather your favorite people onto your boat for an afternoon of fun on the water! All are welcome to participate.

How It Works:

1. Buy Your Scorecards: To join the fun, you will need to purchase official scorecards for $20 each. Each card features a grid with 13 rows (2 through Ace) and 4 columns (one for each suit). Most participants choose to play one or two cards to increase their odds!

2. Navigate the Lake: There are five designated dock locations along the shores of the lake. You can visit them in any order, with the exception of the first stop which will be the dock at 104 Shore Drive, near Resha beach, unless you’ve already purchased your Poker Run cards. Look for the red and black poker decorations at each dock stop!

3. Draw Your Cards: At each dock, you’ll pick one playing card. A volunteer will record your draw on your purchased scorecard and on a master sheet that the dock location will maintain. If you pick a duplicate (one you’ve already drawn at a previous stop), you will draw again.

4. Complete the Hand: Once you’ve visited all five locations, you’ll have a full 5-card poker hand.

After all boats have completed docking for the final time, we’ll tally the results. The three highest hands split 50% of the pot (1st = 25%, 2nd = 15%, 3rd = 10%). Winners will be notified by phone that evening.
