Charity Poker

December 13, 2008

The Hard Rock Poker Lounge is hosting a Celebrity Poker Tournament to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in Memory of Mindy Trinidad. The event will end with someone winning the $10,000 Main Event Seat to the World Series of Poker. So not only do you get to raise money for a worthwhile cause, but you also get a really nice bonus gift if you are lucky enough.

This Friday, December 12th, the Poker Jingle at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel and Casino will be offering a $230 charity poker tournament. Full Tilt poker professional has upped the ante by offering the ticket to the World Series of Poker. Curtis & Co. will also give the top three poker players watches.

There will be plenty of poker stars to see as well. There are many big names expected to turn up to show their support for this worthwhile cause. The poker event is hosted by Tom McEvoy, but Phil Hellmuth, Beth Shak, Andy Bloch, Jamie Gold, Tiffany Michelle, Todd Brunson, Lee Markholt, Jennifer Harman, Maria Ho, etc. are all expected to attend as are many others too numerous to name. The poker tournament is not just for professionals though – the public is also invited to attend. It starts at 3 pm and will go until there is a winner of the seat.

There will be nine finalists in the poker game, and there will be numerous prizes won along the way. The last female in the event will get a pearl necklace; Tom McEvoy also has his own challenge for the players as well.
