The Twitter Poker Tour is proud to announce this charity poker event to benefit Bad Beat on Cancer (BBoC). TPT Member Paul Ellis of Pablo’s Place has organized this great event through his hard work for and dedication to the cancer prevention cause.

About Bad Beat on Cancer

The BBoC has raised over 2 million dollars since it first began during the 2003 WSOP. Proceeds from the BBoC’s work, this event included, help fund cancer research programs through the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

The BBoC  raises money through donations as well as pledges such as the 1% Pledge where pro’s and amateurs alike have committed to donating 1% of their poker winnings for life to Bad Beat on Cancer! The list of pro’s who have taken the pledge include Rafe Furst,  Phil Gordon, Andy Block, Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Annie Duke and Phil Hellmuth among others. For a full list please visit the BBoC 1% Pledge page.

Twitter Poker Tour players, we encourage you to show your support for cancer prevention and sign up for this event! If you will be playing please sign up as early as possible to encourage more people to play!
