Poker News - January 23rd, 2010 - Written By Bonnie
It comes as no surprise that people all around the world are stepping up to lend a helping hand to the people of Haiti, and the online poker community is no exception. Doyles Room, one of the most reputable online poker rooms around, is hosting a Celebrity Bounty Tournament For Haiti. The tragedy that the people of Haiti have recently faced is something so indescribable, that it is hard to find the words to describe what they must be going through. The Haiti earthquake has effected millions of people all around the world and now it is time to extend help any way possible, and that is exactly what Doyles Online Poker Room is ready to do.
Aiding in the relief efforts for the people of Haiti is one trend that almost every person is willing to be part of. Some of the biggest name in Hollywood have gotten together to conduct a charity tournament hosted by Doyles Room, which will feature a celebrity bounty hold'em tournament, where players will have the chance to win up to $50,000 in cash and prizes.
You too can get in on all the poker action, right along side some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, as hearts and wallets join together to help in the aid efforts for the Haiti crisis. Doyle Brunson himself stated, “All you see on the TV news channels are about the earthquakes in Haiti. It is a real disaster area and America is trying to help and the online poker sites are no exception. Come play with us and help some unfortunate people.”
For just a small buy in of $27.50, players can have the chance to play an exciting tournament, with the thought behind the celebrity tournament more rewarding than any prize amount awarded to any winners. All buy-in fees collected will be donated to the Haiti relief fund, and Doyles Room will also match any winnings, and contribute it to the relief fund as well.
People who are always stating they would be willing to help if they could, put your money where your mouth is and make this day of poker really count.
