Ante Up For Africa (http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/tourney/structsheet_3977.asp?tourneyid=3977&groupid=309)
Anyone playing? What % of the prize pool goes to charity? What charity? I guess it's a "bracelet event!"

Why don't we just all go to Mali and play some NL and give the chips to the children

Not a bracelet event...
Players are expected to donate 50% of their winnings to one of several charities...
Structure will be designed so that the event ends in 5-6 hours (since the tourney is starting late in the afternoon the day before the ME)...

Does that mean it really starts at midnight? Also, "expected to donate..." seems like an absurd way to structure a charity payout.

I'm registered to play - It starts at 4pm (not 5pm, as listed) on 7/5.

Annie told me a bit about this. Apparently the Nevada Gaming Commission wouldn't let them require players give a cut to charity, so they just "expect" you to do it. But you'd have to be a real douche to play and not make the donation.

meh, i wanted to play in a $5K nl event and missed all of them, so i'm going to not play this one b/c i cant afford to make a donation of 50% EV to charity, or, at least not THAT charity.
