Phil Hellmuth is coming to Houston.

The event begins at 12:00PM with Phil's workshop. Competition begins at 1:00 - players can join in until 2:30PM - at tables of 10, with professional dealers. Phil will work the room, roviding commentary and guidance; he'll announce all hands at the final two tables. The day wraps up at approximately 10:00PM with the awarding of trophies and such prizes as 4 prized seats at the World Series of Poker tournament in Las Vegas.

The even benefits the breast cancer research. Charity poker tournaments are a bad deal poker-wise (too little of the pot goes toward prizes), but if you are happy to donate to the particular good cause, then it is a good way to have fun and give to a cause you believe in.

Kim and David Hock intend to play. Unfortunately for Kim, Phil has been reading our blog (and leaving comments) so he now knows how to make her fold AA.

We've discussed this before, but poker tournaments such as ours are legal (among other criteria met, there is no benefit to a house), but charity tournaments are illegal in Texas as they benefit a house (the charity). I don't know how Ass Clown Hellmuth is pulling this off.
