If you preregister at eff.org/poker, you are guaranteed to receive the nifty new EFF Poker Deck debuting this year! Plus you can win an actual treasure chest and take home the Jelly Bean Skull! For new players, or those a bit rusty, Tarah and her father will run a poker clinic, starting one hour before the tournament.
