This Sunday at 18:00 ET, just as the $750,000 Guarantee is starting, Full Tilt is holding a private tournament that I encourage you to join. A few years back, a young boy named Shaun Doss was in an automobile accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. The tournament is called “Shaun Doss Miracle” and can be found in the private tournament lobby or by pressing Control-t from the Main Lobby and entering tournament # 177449229. The password for the $5 + $5 tournament is “shaun”.

It’s difficult for me to write about the nice things that many of my friends at Full Tilt do with their time and money. Because I work for Full Tilt and this Blog appears on is site I worry that readers presume that I have to write these stories, or a purpose of the Blog is to make the site and its representatives look like upstanding citizens.

There used to be a joke about an unassuming guy (let’s call him Joe) who was somehow known to everyone in the world. (I blame Forrest Gump for driving this joke out of fashion.) I won’t tell the entire joke, because part of the humor comes from the set-up being interminably long: the buddy takes Joe into one situation after another, increasingly shocked that everybody knows Joe.

Daniel Horowitz is too modest for his own good, an odd statement to make about a man playing regularly at the World Series of Poker in a ladies tracksuit with his name stitched across his chest. Daniel is expecting to play 15-20 events at this year’s World Series and donating 100% of the money he earns to the Bad Beat on Cancer (BBoC) through the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

With the Scottsdale Relay for Life less than two weeks away, I held my final Relay charity tournament on Full Tilt yesterday. The tournament was a great success and thanks so much to everybody who participated. 196 players entered Sunday’s $5 + $5 tournament, raising nearly $1,000 for the Scottsdale Relay. I want to give a special thank you to one online community – or is it two? – that went above and beyond the call of duty to help: Badbeatspoker.net and the Dublin BellyBusters.

Somewhere in Afghanistan, a young Marine named Colin is part of a top-secret operation. His unit, location, and mission are classified information to which I’m not privy. All Colin could disclose is that it involves going after “the bad guys,” of whom I imagine there are no shortage in those parts.

Sunday, March 16 at 21:00 ET (half-hour before the Sunday HORSE), Jennifer Harman is hosting a $5 + $5 charity tournament to benefit the Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. As a lover of animals and owner of Harpo (a/k/a the $1.1 Million Dog), naturally I signed up and I encourage you to do the same. I emphasize that there is some chance I will be playing the Main Event of the Wynn Classic and may not participate – but my money is down and I’ll probably last longer than if I was playing my stack. Even if I can’t make it, Jennifer and Marco are already signed up, and the news release I’m looking at says participating red pros include Howard Lederer and Chris Ferguson, and “also slated to participate are John Juanda, Phil Gordon, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Clonie Gowen, Andy Bloch, Mike Matusow, Gus Hansen, Allen Cunningham, Kristy Gazes,” and others.
So sign up. It should be a fun time for a good cause.

The charity poker tournament itself started at 12:35 PM. We had 1,000 in chips and 20 minute levels. The tournament was designed to move fast because of the rebuy structure and the – oh, hell, it was for charity and we were playing for next to nothing. I was initially assigned to one of the cheap seats (a/k/a the main poker room) but got moved to table 60, seat 2 in the tournament room before the first hand.

On Friday, I participated in the Jennifer Harman charity poker tournament to benefit the Nevada SPCA. These were my notes, prettied up a bit and better organized.
