We at TechNexus are excited for Smart Bet, the 7th annual charity poker tournament we help organize, which is happening this Thursday!

Smart Bet has raised more than $500k to support teaching entrepreneurship to kids in Chicago, and one of the key beneficiaries is Chicago Tech Academy. (that’s the high school that was incubated at TechNexus).

Whether you’re a card shark or poker noob, this is event is always a great time. The tournament features a staff of professional dealers, plus an open bar and great food all night.
