1st prize is 10% of the prize pool.

In other words its a "charity" tournament.

As highest cash game allowed by state is $30/$60 lhe I sure hope these guys enjoy donking it up. Wonder if the organizers told them that.

This should be highly amusing.

Are you sure? That "Tucker Youth Program" thing sounds like a ruse.

Of course it's a charity tournament. And the lost revenue from the Big Game or whatever else they'd be doing is part of the donation. That's why they call it charity.

Obviously its charity but they don't exactly explicitly state that.
