Emerald Coast Poker Run 2021

What is a poker run? It involves visiting check points, collecting cards, and trying to end up with the best hand of the night.

However, this Poker run is one of the largest and most popular charity poker events in the United States.

What makes it unique is that Its a marine event that raises money for the youth organizations of Okaloosa county. Basically, if you own a boat you can register to be apart of the event.  The winner is determined 100% by chance because all boats will leave from start and have 5-7 check points to pick up their cards from the dealer booths and whichever boat ends up with the best hand wins!

People come from all over just to watch this event because it brings some of the fastest and most beautiful boats out to play and show off their elaborate new colors and parts.

If you don't own a boat and still want to be apart of the event, you can! There will be a Captains party at AJ's on the Bayou that includes live music, buffet style food, and open bar (for VIP registrations).The party begins on Aug 13th from 5:30 to 8:30. You can buy tickets online and they will be well worth it!

 On the 14th, starting at 6pm, there will also be an all around Poker Run Party located at a bar in Fort Walton Beach called The Block after the games have transpired. (Ya know, the after party). 

Find a map of all these parties and where to be on the beaches to see the boats going from check point to check point on their website below.

Come out and have a great weekend!
