Thursday 17th August 2006 Charity Ups the Ante with a Chance to Win a Seat at the WPT
Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles (JBBBSLA), a not-for-profit mentoring agency in Southern California which serves over 1,800 children annually, is set to host a full house for their third Annual Poker Tournament on September 7, 2006 at The Hollywood Park Casino.
This year's event will include dinner and lessons from 18:30 to 19:30, followed by a No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament, where players will have an opportunity to win $5,000 cash, or a $10,000 buy-in at the World Poker Tour (WPT).
'The poker tournament is an opportunity to give back to the mentors, board members and friends of the agency that are supportive of our programs throughout the year,' said Margy Feldman, JBBBSLA CEO. 'While this is a fun way to raise money for the underprivileged children we serve, it is also a great opportunity for the players to network and make friends. With this year's exciting grand prize, players just may have a chance to talk cards with a future poker champion!'
Participants can buy in for $200 with a chance to increase their winnings 50-fold, by winning the first place prize of a $10,000 buy-in at the WPT or $5,000 cash.
