Today’s bad beat story is about a different kind of bad beat. If you’ve been following the poker press, then you’ll know that poker pro Nicole Rowe was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
Pokerstars.com will be hosting a charity event later this month in honour of Rowe, entitled “Bad Beat On Cancer.” It’s set to kick off on the 12th of November – that’s next Thursday – at 21:00 Eastern Standard Time. The event is being hosted to raise awareness around the issue of breast cancer, and to generate funds for cancer related charities.
This means that even if you take a bad beat while playing in this tournament, you still win because it’s all for a very worthy cause. And if you make it through to the end, there are some very tasty prizes in store.
The first place prize is a $10,000 subscription to deucescracked, a prominent poker coaching school. The second place prize is a VIP package that will allow the winner to attend tapings of the hit show Two Months, Two Million, and hang out with poker celebrities.
The third place winner will have the opportunity to win a two day training course at the World Series of Poker Academy. Fourth place will get to stay for two nights at the Atlantic City Borgata Water Club, with a seat to the Borgate Triple Play tournament thrown in.
The list of prizes runs on, and it sounds like Bad Beat On Cancer is going to be a huge success.
