A poker tournament will be held on Jan. 23, with all proceeds from the event going toward the West Hills College Coalinga baseball team. The event will be hosted by the Coalinga Fraternal Order of the Eagles Hall to benefit West Hills College athletics.

Only 60 seats are available in the tournament, which has a $50 buy-in and will give players the chance to win many non-cash prizes including a new flat-screen television, gift certificates to restaurants and shops, and a free foursome at Lemoore Golf Course.

“This will be an annual event and will help us bring the community together right before our season starts, so it can really kick things off in a positive way,” said Stefan McGovern, head baseball coach.

The event will be held at the Eagle’s Hall at 156 W. Durian and will begin at 5:30 p.m. There will be prizes for the top 10 finishers. There will also be a 50/50 raffle.
