Texas Hold 'em Tournament - Jennifer Harman Charity Poker Tournament - Help Out the SPCA and Win a Seat at the WSOP!

Do you love animals and poker? Well, have I got the event for you. On April 20th at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, poker star Jennifer Harman and the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) will be teaming up to hold a No Limit Hold’em poker tournament dubbed the Jennifer Harman Charity Poker Tournament.

While all of the entry money collected will go to the Nevada SPCA No-Kill Animal Sanctuary, the first place finisher will receive a seat at the WSOP Main Event worth $10,000. In addition, there will also be “surprise awards” for players who reach the final table.

So how much does it cost to enter? Entry into the event is $300, and there’s a single $200 rebuy and a last chance $200 add-on. Considering that you have a chance of being in the WSOP, and helping some adorable animals along the way, that’s a pretty good deal.

Seats are still available, and the limit has been set at 400 players. There will also be 150 professional players and celebrities involved, so your entry fee will no doubt get you placed at a table with people you’ve only seen on television or in the movies.

And before the tournament gets underway, there will also be a charity auction. There will be plenty of one-of-a-kind items available, and many professional players have donated personal items for inclusion in the auction. The live auction will be hosted by Daniel Negreanu and Robert Williamson III, and a silent auction will also take place during the event. The live events are expected to begin at 10 am Vegas time, with the tournament kicking off at noon.

Almost every professional player you can think of has committed to taking part in this tournament. Want to meet Phil Hellmuth? How about Phil Laak or Annie Duke? Well, you’re in luck, as they are all scheduled to take part in this worthy cause.

If you can’t make it to the event, you can still help out the SPCA by logging on to http://www.nevadaspca.org/donate/. It’s a great cause and helps ensure that lots of homeless dogs and cats will be placed with loving families. If you’ve ever had a pet which enriched your life, this is an excellent opportunity to honor their memory by giving something back.
