These types of charity poker tournaments are really great!
Wish all the success to them as they are helping our youth! Our Ladies Diamond Poker Club funds three children's charities with monies coming off the top from every player's buy-ins.
It really nice to see our industry giving back to our communities!

Have a Great Tournament!
