Thursday, 25 November 2010

Say what you will about Poker Brat Phil Hellmuth but he does his bit for charity. On December 18 Hellmuth will be hosting a full-day charity poker event in order to raise money for HospiceCare Inc. in his hometown of Madison, Wisconsin.

Hold ‘em with HospiceCare will feature some munchies, general entertainment and Hellmuth himself MCing a poker tournament with some great prizes including a 2011 Honda Accord and a $10,000 seat in the 2011 WSOP Main Event.


Over 500 people are expected to turn out for the event to raise money for HospiceCare Inc. including UB pro Mark Krooon, who wrote that he “signed up to be part of a committee for an upcoming charity poker tournament, to be held here in Madison. Its going to be held on December 18th of this year, and so fat it’s really shaping up to be a nice event. UB’s very own Phil Hellmuth is hosting the event, along with other celebrities local to Madison, and some not.


“It’s amazing how many people’s lives have been touched by Hospice Care and it is really great knowing I will be able to help.”
