Last year's tournament was phenomenal, drawing more than 350 guests with nearly 200 poker players and over 50 celebrity attendees. The event successfully raised more than $50,000 in donations for the ASAP's scholarship program, which serves youth specifically for this event at the San Miguel Schools in Chicago.
