Boo!

Thank you everyone for making this another successful event for FCVN. Without you, none of this is possible. We had 4 full poker tables and lots of karaoke for everyone to enjoy. A yummy dinner buffet prepared by Phoenix was provided to all guests. We had killer drinks made by our three bartenders Terri, Linda, and Tim. DJ Irvin kept the party going for all the karaoke singers. And of course there’s no poker party w/o Augie Remy and his dealers, Rick Stolpner, Tuan Van, Thai Bright, and Zen Walker.

And after five “ghouling” hours”, a hearty congratulations to this year’s Poker winners:

1st Tri Duong (laptop)
2nd Dat Hong (tablet)
3rd Scott McCarthy (camera)
4th Tuan Van (camcorder)
