Miles Ahead of Cancer - Ace of Spades

Shue Photos was invited to help capture the memories at the annual Ace of Spades Poker Tournament hosted by Miles Ahead of Cancer. This event was held at the St. Mary's Catholic Church, Muller Hall in Frankfort, IN on December 27, 2009. The tournament was used to raise money for Miles Ahead of Cancer and Riley Hospital for Children.

Once again Andrew Feterick utilized Miles Ahead of Cancer's Facebook fan page to raise awareness for this event. With a solid turnout, the event began with making sure everyone had something to eat. Arni's of Frankfort donated several pizzas and there was other food on hand buffet style.

Once everyone had something to eat, the games began. Poker wasn't the only game this evening. There was also a set of cornhole boards available for people to use.

Also on loan were a couple of Nintendo Wii gaming consoles with Rock Band and a television to be used for them.

Other games of the evening were darts and dominoes.

The poker tournament was large enough for two separate tables to be set up. Chip leaders changed several times among the different players. After a couple hours of chips exchanging hands it all came down to the last two.

As time passed by, the stakes grew higher. Finally, in the end, there could be only one winner:

The WINNER!


After an eventful evening, and with several hundred dollars raised for Miles Ahead of Cancer and Riley Hospital for Children, it was time for the remaining people to sit down and watch the Colts vs Jets game. Unfortunately the evening ended on kind of a sour note. The Colts were handed their first loss of the season. The Jets outplayed the Colts and ended up winning 29-15.
