| Bad Beat on Cancer 11-22 http://www.holdempokerchat.com/hpc/i...eatBanner4.jpg On November 22nd at 2:05pm ET, Full Tilt Poker along with HoldemPokerChat.com will be running a charity tournament for the Bad Beat on Cancer Organization. Cost for the tournament is $5 for the prize pool, plus an additional $5 for the charity. We have also added $150 to the prizepool. Full TIlt Poker pro Rafe Furst will be playing the tournament, and we hope many more of the Full Tilt pros will also be in attendance. Details for the tournament are as follows: November 22nd, 2:01pm ET Full Tilt Poker Private tournament tab: Bad Beat on Cancer Password: charity $5 plus $5 with $150 added to the prizepool Tournament #64689765 (Under the Private Tournaments tab) Even if you can't make it, please consider registering anyway since all proceeds will go to the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation. I hope to see you all there. About the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation: The Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation was started in 1985 when Founder and President Carolyn Aldige first understood the power of prevention to defeat cancer -- and recognized that too few of the country's resources were used to promote cancer prevention research or education. Today, it is one of the nation's leading health organizations and has catapulted cancer prevention to prominence. Since its inception the Foundation has provided more than $74 million in support of cancer prevention and early detection research and education programs. CRPF peer-reviewed grants have been awarded to more than 250 scientists from more than 150 of the leading academic medical centers nationwide. This research has been pivotal in developing a body of knowledge that is the basis for important cancer prevention and early detection strategies. About Bad Beat on Cancer: Bad Beat on Cancer was started a few years ago by Rafe Furst and Phil Gordon to help fund cancer research and prevention – by playing poker. They ask professionals and amateurs alike to donate 1% of whatever they win at the WSOP. They've been extraordinarily successful over the last few years, raising over $1 million for a very worthy cause. It's a very fiscally responsible organization, nearly 86 cents from every dollar goes to the cancer research programs that they're funding. It's a great organization and they have most of the world's greatest players signed up.
