Texas Mucks Phil Hellmuth's Hold'em Tourney
Phil Hellmuth's poker tournament for a good cause was shut down by Texas local and state officials.
The poker star was supposed to host the Phil Hellmuth Poker Challenge on May 21 in Houston, TX where 600-1000 players were expected to attend a one-hour seminar with Phil and battle for seats to the World Series of Poker Main Event--all these from their $500 contribution.
But people can choose to pay $100 just to attend the events without playing for the tournament. The proceeds will go to the Houston chapter of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Organizers are now colecting signatures to sign a petition regarding the unfortunate cancellation of the tourney. The greatest irony being Texas Hold'em is not allowed in the place that is its namesake, even if it's for a charitable cause.
If you want to sign the petition, visit the website houstonpokerchallenge.com.
