Over Kentucky Derby weekend, poker pros and celebrities are gong all in for climate change at Caesars Indiana this Saturday at 8:30 p.m. The charity poker tournament will benefit the international Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre, the Health and Climate Foundation, and the Robby Albarado Foundation.
Phil Hellmuth and Robert Williamson III are headlining the event and are expecting friends Layne Flack, Kevin O’Donnell, and Montel Williams to participate, as well. The buy-in is $2,500, which gets players 5,000 in starting chips. Rebuys for $1,000 will be available through the first hour to receive another 2,500 in chips.
Half of the money generated will go towards the players’ prize pool, while the other half will be donated directly to the charities at hand. The first-place finisher in the tournament will receive a 2008 World Series of Poker main-event seat.
Registration is open now inside the Caesars Poker room, and players can also secure a seat by paying with a credit card. Dial 1-800-660-9477 to preregister over the phone.
