Battle Leukemia Sunday at FullTiltPoker.com

A poker tournament will be held at FullTiltPoker.com this weekend to help one of its members who was diagnosed with AML (acute myelogenous leukemia, a form of cancer) in December and is currently preparing for a bone marrow transplant that is not covered by insurance.

FullTiltForum.com and ClintBaird.com are sponsoring the Suckout on Leukemia fund-raiser tournament on Sunday, Feb. 26, at 5 p.m. EST.

The buy-in for the event is $10 + $16, and the tournament can be found under the private tournament tab at the site. The password for the tournament is playforjill.

Players will be playing for the prize pool generated by $10 of the buy-in; $15 goes to Jill Sabsevitz, who is battling the disease. A dollar goes to FultTiltPoker.com.

Also, poker pro Clint Baird will have a $26 bounty on his head. If and when he gets knocked out, that money will go to the charitable cause, and the player who knocks him out will receive a FullTiltPoker.com Urban Techno Bonded Jacket.

Several of FullTiltPoker.com's pros have signed up for the event, including Erik Seidel and Steve Brecher.
