Poker Run Benefits Deputy’s Family

By launchpoker, Nov 19, 2006

In Lake Wales, Florida, motorcycle enthusiasts, poker players and lawmen will all gather to raise money to support the family of a slain deputy via a poker run. The Matt and Diogi Memorial Poker Run will start at Chalet Suzanne in Lake Wales at 9:30am. Ending around 1pm at the USA International Speedway at 3401 Old Polk City Road, each rider pays $20, or $30 if they have a passenger. Three poker hands are included in the fee, and the best poker hands win prizes. Deputy Matt Williams and his K-9 Partner Diogi were both shot and died in September.
