Trent Tucker Hosts Celebrity Poker and Golf Events
28 August 06
The Trent Tucker nonprofit organization is hosting its
eighth annual Trent Tucker Celebrity Golf Tournament. And
keeping up with the times, has added — you guessed
it — a poker tournament. World Poker Stores will be
there to assist.
The poker tournament will be held on Friday,
September 8 at Canterbury Card Club, in Shakopee, Minnesota.
There will be a celebrity walk over the “green”
carpet at 5:30 p.m. The entry is $2,500 and seating is limited.
The golf event, presented by Polaroid-Petters Group Worldwide
is on Saturday, September 9 at Rush Creek Golf Club, Maple
Grove, Minnesota. The entry fee is $5,000, and teams of
four will include celebrity representation. Audience tickets
are $10 in advance and $15 at the gate.
Proceeds will go towards the Trent Tucker Youth Program,
an organization that allows the NBA player to give back
to his community.
Invited NBA guests include Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen,
Patrick Ewing, and more. Poker elites Greg Raymer, Phil
Hellmuth, Hoyt Corkins, Marcel Luske, Patrik Antonius, Liz
Lieu, and Robert Williamson III are also slated to attend.
Celebrity parties will be held both nights at Karma in
downtown Minneapolis and are open to the public.
“Professional players love to play with their professional
athlete counterparts and visa versa,” says World Poker
Store CEO Chuck Chastain. “Events like these allow
them to have a great time with each other and their fans
while generating funds for a worthy cause.”
