Sun Poker And Bluff Magazine Are Hosting A WSOP 'Dream Shot' Free Roll Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament Giving 2 Wounded Warriors Seats To The 2006 WSOP.
"Cowboy" Kenna James is saddling up for a ride into San Antonio Texas on June 20th and 21st to run the "Dream Shot" Tournament that will end with two Wounded Warriors winning seats to the 2006 World Series of Poker at the Rio Hotel & Casino of Las Vegas in July courtesy of Bluff Magazine and SunPoker online poker room. "I am proud to be a part of the Dream Shot Tournament, and I am looking forward to the "Basic Training" coaching session for all the Wounded Warriors in advance of the tournament, and also working with the two winners personally in Las Vegas before the main event." Kenna said in a phone interview.
"I know public opinion of war may be divided, but these men and women who've put themselves in harms way for their country need our support, and I would like to do my share." Kenna added. Kenna's trip to San Antonio will start with a visit to Brooks Medical Hospital on Tuesday June 20th at 1:00pm to meet and chat with some of the wounded soldiers and a tour of the facility. Then at 6:00 PM on the that same day over at Dave & Busters (440 Crossroads Blvd.) he will be hosting, poker "Basic Training", which is designed to teach the wounded warriors who might otherwise not know, when to hold ‘em, and when to fold ‘em. At 8:00 PM, Kenna will switch it into high gear with a more in depth look at some of the nuances of the game that separate winning from losing.
The actual WSOP "Dream Shot" tournament will begin promptly at 6:00 PM on Wednesday the 21st again at Dave & Busters, where 100 Wounded Warriors will begin the battle of the felt, and two players will win seats to the 2006 WSOP in Las Vegas, and a chance at the estimated $80 Million prize pool.
As if that was not enough, Kenna has also pledged to donate 1% of ALL his poker tournament winnings this year to the Wounded Warrior Project, and SunPoker is going to match that number as well.
This will be the first of many events that Kenna, SunPoker and Bluff Magazine will be doing to help raise awareness and funds for the WWP. Please stay tuned for the listing of future events designed to help the Wounded Warriors.
