Jennifer Harman Hosts Charity Event for S.P.C.A.A $300 Donation Is All that's Needed to Play |
|
Jennifer Harman will take a break from playing in the "big game" to play for a "big cause" on Friday, April 20, when she hosts a charity poker tournament for the Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (S.P.C.A.) at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Players who plan to attend include Marcel Luske, Carlos Mortensen, Doyle Brunson, Todd Brunson, Howard Lederer, and David Benyamine.
The tournament donation for a seat is $300, with optional $200 re-donation or add-a-donation for more chips, and will be available until the end of the third round. All proceeds will go directly to the S.P.C.A.
In addition to the tournament prize pool going to charity, there will also be a live auction.
Many professional poker players have donated personal belongings to be included in the auction. For example, Robert Williamson III will be auctioning off his "lucky socks," the same pair he attributed his first-place finish to in the Trent Tucker's Hoopology Celebrity Charity poker tournament during the NBA All-Star weekend in Las Vegas. Along with Williamson, Daniel Negreanu will host the live auction. A silent auction will also take place during the event.
This event is scheduled on the eve of the World Poker Tour 's $25,000 buy-in championship at Bellagio. For more information on the charity tournament, contact the Caesars poker room.
