The tournament kicks off at 5 p.m. PT at the PokerGo studio on the Las Vegas Strip, with 100,000 in chips to start.

High-stakes poker pro Sean Perry is scheduled to attend and has decided to sweeten the pot by taking on all comers in a heads-up challenge to help the cause.

The buy-in for the heads-up challenge is $1,000. Those who beat Perry will pocket $1,500, with $500 for the charity. If Perry wins, he will donate the entire $2,000 to the IPOF.
