The first-place prize for the tournament is two seats into the 2007 World Series of Poker main event plus airfare and hotel accommodations. The casino night will also include craps, blackjack, and roulette, in which guests will have the chance to win prizes throughout the night.
The Urban Health Institute is a nonprofit organization that provides direct care, medicine, and medical equipment to those in need from the result of nature and man-made disasters.
"This is a worthy cause and we are proud to associate the Card Player name with the Urban Health Institute," stated Tim Resnik, chief marketing officer for Card Player Media. "Our hope is for a successful tournament and fundraiser."
