The second annual Kiwanis of Thousand Oaks Foundation Texas Hold 'em Poker Tournament and Casino Night is coming to The Canyon club in Agoura Hills on Sun., April 19.

Registration and lessons begin at 4 p.m.; buffet dinner starts at 4:30 p.m.; tournament and casino games begin at 5 p.m., and a live auction is set for 6:15 p.m.

The event will fulfill two dreams.

First and foremost, proceeds will allow Kiwanis to continue its support of youth, schools, senior citizens and others in need.

Second, the tournament winner will receive a 37-inch Toshiba LCD HDTV and a complimentary buy-in to Pechanga Resort and Casino's "Big Showdown Poker Tournament" the next weekend on Sat, April 26.

The buy-in includes three days and two nights of accommodations, and $100 fine dining and $50 casual dining certificates. The package is nontransferable.

Hundreds of players travel each month to Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, Calif., to play in the Big Showdown Tournaments, where they compete for the top prize, a free ($10,000) buy-in to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in Las Vegas next year.

There are also runner-up prizes for the remaining eight final-table finishers.

Make plans now, get your poker pals, family members and friends together, and compete or just have a fun evening while supporting the Kiwanis Foundation.

The registration fee to have dinner, and enjoy the non-poker casino tables and live auction is $40.

The poker buyin is an additional $100 for $10,000 in poker chip play dough.
