What’s better than playing in a poker tournament? How about playing in a poker tournament hosted by country music stars Big and Rich?

As part of the Week Vegas Goes Country, the Academy of Country Music will hold their 1st Annual Charity Poker Tournament. The event will raise money for the Academy of Country Music Charitable Fund. It will be hosted by Big and Rich (with Two Foot Fred acting as co-host). The event will take place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Monday, May 14th. The MGM Grand will also serve as the site for this year‘s 42nd Annual Academy of County Music Awards.

First place will have a chance to win $10,000, and cash prizes will also be awarded to top ten finishers. There will be a maximum of 100 participants, and a portion of the buy-in will go to the ACM Charitable Fund.

Through its donations, the ACMCF promotes learning and healing through music and humanitarian programs. For more information, check out their official website.

John Rich continues, "We are here for the party, and the ACM's sure know how to throw one. And having us host the inaugural tournament is both and honor and privilege to rack up some chips for charity. Watch out, we are here to make some big bucks."
