Vince Neil Celebrity/ Charity Event
November 03, 2007
The 3rd Annual Vince Neil Rock Celebrity/ Charity Off the Strip Event took place on November 3rd and was a big hit. The tournament reached the 150 capacity and raised almost $175,000 for the TJ Martell Foundation in the name of Skylar Neil (Vince's Daughter that lost her life). This was not your normal charity event and featured some real dollars to be won. There is a $50,000 guaranteed prize pool and $20,000 guaranteed first prize with the money on top of that going to charity. There were also bounty prizes on one celebrity/ poker pro on each table.
Pros/ Bounties in the field were
Johnny Chan
Todd Brunson
Layne Flack
Hoyt Corkins
Phil Gordon
Lee Watkinson
David Williams
