+All-in for Kids Tournament this Sunday at Hollywood Park!
Please come join me for the 6th Annual All-in for Kids Poker Tournament benefiting The Alliance for Children’s Rights. Last year I won this baby so I am looking to get dethroned by someone 
When we got heads-up last year, I had a flight to catch. So I asked the guy if he was going to donate his winnings back to the charity (they withhold half the prize pool for the charity and half goes to the players). Now, of course, it is a personal choice whether you donate the money back. It is not required and the charity benefits no matter what. But I fully intended to donate all my winnings back. The thing was, though, that I had a flight to catch so I really just wanted to chop the tournament and get out of there. But the guy I was playing told me he was not donating all his winnings so I felt I had to play the tournament out. I won the heads up match and donated the money to the charity then ran out of there to catch my flight!
This year I have another flight to catch since I am heading to DC on the red eye that night for National Poker Week. I am going to be part of the Poker Players Alliance fly-in where PPA members from all over come to DC and lobby Congress for a few days. I have done a big fly-in before and it is an amazing experience and very effective for getting members to pay attention to the rights of poker players.
But before I head off for that, Joe and I are coming to Hollywood Park this Sunday (the 19th of July) so I can try to defend my title. Check-in is at 12:30 and the tournament starts at 1:30 pm. The buy-in is $500+30 and there is a second chance tournament for $150+15. It is a great cause and I hope people will come out and support it and have fun playing poker at the same time. Please explore the website and if it is a charity you find some passion for hopefully you can come out and join me Sunday See you there!
ALL IN And Congratulations On Your Excellent Work
See if this “rings a bell.”
