As the world reels from the terrible images coming out of Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake, PartyPoker is organising a tournament to benefit the victims.
Everyone feels helpless in the days following a terrible disaster, but sometimes an outlet to assist comes from the most unexpected of directions. PartyPoker is organising a benefit event, which could help those of us who don’t know how to help, help.
The tournament will be held on Sunday February 7th but the build up begins on January 25th. The guaranteed prize pool of the tournament is $25,000 and it has a direct buy-in of $50 + $5. There are however satellites that will be running from January 25th until February 7th that will cost $11 buy-in. PartyPoker will take all of the buy-in fees for the poker tournament and double it. The total amount will then get donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee which is working to bring some comfort to those suffering devastation.
PartyPoker is hoping that the tournament will attract as many people as possible as the more people that play; the more money can be raised, matched, and sent. You can sign up now at PartyPoker for the Haiti benefit tournament which will be played on Sunday February 7th at 14:30 ET.
