Benny Binion and the other founding fathers of tournament poker probably never envisioned this.
Rapper Snoop Dogg will host the $2 Million Rappers' Challenge Texas Hold 'em Tournament on The Big Easy, a casino boat that's set to depart from Miami Friday, May 5. The buy-in for the event, which is being organized by Hold'em Productions, is $15,000 and a prize pool of $2 million is guaranteed.
The winner will receive $1 million. Included in the entry fee are round-trip airline tickets and a fou- day, three-night stay in a hotel. Players are also guaranteed to have at least two seats at their first table filled with a celebrity or a rapper.
The entry fee also includes entrance into a pre-tournament party, an open bar, food, entertainment throughout the day, a ticket to an after party, and a ticket to the Rappers' Challenge, a rap battle in which the winner receives $15,000.
Those who just want to go to the parties can purchase a V.I.P ticket for $2,000.
