Taj poker tournament to raise money for murdered worker’s son
It was summer of last year when a great tragedy happened in the casino world. Ray Kot, shift manager in Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, was shot and killed by Mark Magee, a casino patron. Kot left behind his wife and son, Drew. The young Kot is now in danger of not going to college because of the absence of financial support. However, poker players and the management of Trump Taj Mahal have organized a tournament for the future of Drew.
The first poker tournament to be held annually in the Trump Taj Mahal Casino is now on the last stages of preparation. The games will start on Sunday and will fill all throughout the week. There will be 10 satellite tournaments that will go off everyday from noon all the way to midnight. The number of players in the championship will depend on how fast the satellites will be filled and how fast players will win.
The tournament was named in honor of Ray Kot. Entry to the event will only cost $25 will 100 percent of the proceeds going to Drew’s college fund. Prizes are in store to give players more motivation. First place winner will be given a trip to the Super Bowl; second place will win a flat-screen TV; and third place wins a party at the Taj.
