Young Patrons Poker Evening

THE CHIPS ARE UP FOR LANIADO

Over 100 young men and women attended a professional poker tournament in Camden in aid of Laniado Hospital.

High level prizes and raffle items were on offer for the winner of a four and a half hour charity poker tournament organised by the Laniado Young Patrons Committee, headed by Richard Benson and his able team, including new member Anthony Plaskow. Long time and new players packed into the venue, many staying on till the final round with Rafi Goldberg emerging the eventual winner with multiple stacks of poker chips, and Chantal Toube in second place.

Richard Benson said, "The event was a great success for both the players and the charity.  Everyone who competed got into the spirit of the cause and we raised over £9000 to purchase a portable bedside monitor in the emergency room at Laniado for the over 57,000 patients who come through its door annually."
