The evening kicked off with a reception where guests were treated to the musical stylings of Michael Shulman, and enjoyed tastings provided by Greene St. Kitchen, wine and specialty cocktails by Southern Glazers Wine & Spirits and Casa Dragones, and a make-your-own margarita bar by Kimo Sabe.
Elite poker players and celebrities in attendance included Jack McClelland, Barry and Allyn Shulman, Jon Taffer, David Williams, and Duane “Dewey” Tomko.
