Small Town Poker Tour to Sponsor Charity Poker Event

The Small Town Poker Tour (STPT) has today announced they will be one of the participating sponsors of 'Vince Neil's Off the Strip Poker Tournament' which benefits the T. J. Martell Foundation.

'We are happy to be associated with such a good cause,' said Mark Fracalossi, STPT executive producer. 'The STPT is all about giving back and this is a chance for everyone who has played in the tour to come out and play in this special event. Last year was a blast and I know this year will be even better.'

The event will be held on November 5 at The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Rocker Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe will host the second annual bash, rubbing shoulders with celebrities, poker pros, and Las Vegas showgirls.

Seats are limited to the first 150 entrants. The players, who will vie for a $50,000 prizepool must pay a $40 entry fee and $500 buy-in.

Last year’s tournament raised over $170,000 for the T.J. Martell Foundation, a charitable organisation which supports innovative cancer, leukaemia, and AIDS research.
