Red Cross Wins Pot
Tuesday, September 20, 2005
The Red Cross have just won their first poker pot, courtesy of Poker.com and its charitable members. Last Wednesday, September 14, saw the first of Poker.com’s monthly charitytournaments, with all proceeds being donated to the Red Cross Katrina appeal.
The tournament played host to 38 competitors who all donated $5 each towards the recent New Orleans disaster. With player donations totalling $190 Poker.com were more than happy to match the amount dollar for dollar (and more), thereby, combining to raise $450 for the Red Cross. It’s not enough to save the world just yet, but with the help of our players, it’s definitely a step in the right direction.
The charity event lasted nearly two and half hours with 153 hands being played, before the all conquering Charlottelake, managed to take out the event after some tight heads-up play against Chefmh.
Future charity tournament winners will also be given the opportunity to decide which organisation will receive that months donation. Unfortunately, the "Liam’s Weekend Party Foundation" has not been considered a reputable charity and will not feature in the list of possible choices....
Good Luck at the tables and hope to see you in the next charity tournament.
