Get ready for double the fun in Shell Knob this summer – the Poker Run is back on Saturday, June 7th, and this year, we’re kicking it up a notch with two ways to play: by boat or by land vehicle! Proceeds will benefit the Shell Knob Chamber of Commerce and the Thunder & Fire Fireworks.

New in 2025:

TWO WAYS TO PLAY: Choose between the Lake Poker Run or the all-new Land Poker Run
Guaranteed Prize Pots for both versions!
Afterparty with live music by The Holt Boys at Boondocks Dive Bar-BQ (you do not have to be present to win)
Sponsored by local businesses – thank you to Boondocks and our many generous sponsors!

Here's how it works:

Choose your route – lake or land!
$25 per card or $60 for 3 cards – play one or play many! (Choose between lake or land)
Add a bonus draw for just $5 to boost your chances of winning (lake only).
This is not a race! Take your time, enjoy the day, and have a blast.
Please read below for lake and land rules (there are a couple differences).

Whether you’re floating or driving, the goal is the same: draw a poker hand at the stops and see if you’ve got the luck to land one of the top winning hands – top 3 come with cash prizes!

Ready to join in on the action? You can purchase your cards on the day of the event or click the link below and take advantage of our early registration. Don't miss your chance to be part of the Shell Knob Poker Run – it's going to be a day to remember!
