UltimateBet.com and the Starlight Children’s Foundation, in conjunction with C3 Events, are teaming up for the inaugural UltimateBet Starlight Poker Challenge, a special charity event set to take place from November 14th-18th at the historic Gare Windsor (Windsor Station) in Montreal, Canada.
The charity poker event will be attended by Team Ultimate Bet members Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke. The $500 buy-in event has capacity for 1,000 players and guarantees a $100,000 1st prize payout.
The event will benefit the Starlight Children’s Foundation of Canada, with the proceeds used directly to support the Great Escapes program, a weekly outing that hosts seriously ill children and their families with the intention of giving them quality time together in a fun and relaxed environment.
“Montreal is one of my favorite cities and I can’t wait to head north to play a little poker for a really great cause. It’s events like UB Starlight that make every hand dealt feel like a winning one, no matter what happens.” said UltimateBet sponsored pro Phil Hellmuth.
Players can also buy a $750 VIP package, which includes the tournament buy-in with a 20,000 start bank, plus exclusive access to the November 14th poker training boot-camp hosted by Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke.
The final table will be played out at Snakes poker room in Montreal. The charity poker play will be recorded for international broadcast on Rogers Sportsnet, the Players Network, Comcast and RDS.
Tickets can still be purchased by calling 514-282-9292, X233.
