Awarded are 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes for Best Hand, Worst Hand, and Best Crew, and each participant will receive an official Poker Run t-shirt, a Lake Martin summer t-shirt, two meal tickets for the party, and one key which may open the treasure chest containing $2,000 in prizes such as Costa del Mar sunglasses, a Hyperlite Skurfer, Hyperlite Party Pad, a Connelly tube, and more!

Registration is $160 per hand. To improve your hand at the end, one additional card may be purchased for a $25 donation at Kowaliga Restaurant between 2 pm and 4 pm. Participants can preregister at any Russell Marine location. Make your check payable to Alexander City Lions Club.
