great idea poker and charity go hand in hand.. Poker has sooo much cash spent on it in it and for it, its a very good way to get some of the more well off players to give a little back and still do what they love the most.... poker tours for charity get the thumbs up every time
Looks like some big names will be going to this event. I think it is good when places like Hard Rock do charities like this. It is two sided, the charity gets to benefit from the event and the players still have a chance at a prize pool.

You say pokerrooms don't care about charities.... And you care? 90% people who say it's to low on it don't rlly do anythink. They always remember when they hear about some actions like that. Everyone want to get cash it's reality. But nice things to do sometimes like that one.
