Charity Series of Poker to host the Golden Knights Foundation

The Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) is preparing its next big poker fundraiser. It has announced a tournament for next month in Las Vegas that will benefit the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation, a charitable organization associated with the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights team that supports the local Vegas community.

The tournament will be held on December 8 at Planet Hollywood and will be an all-day affair. Activities will get underway at 12 PM with a viewing party when the Golden Knights take on the Los Angeles Kings. Among those expected to be on hand to watch the game will be major Golden Knights fan and poker great, Daniel Negreanu.

A reception prior to the poker tournament will begin at 3 PM and the action will commence at 4:30. Negreanu will be sticking around for the tournament, so this could be the perfect opportunity to try to best Kid Poker. In addition, John Cynn, Jeff Madsen, Matt Savage, Lexy Gavin, Ryan Leng and Jo Kim have already confirmed that they’ll be participating in the tournament, as well.

For fans of the Friday the 13th movies, Jason Vorhees himself will be on hand. Kane Hodder, who played Jason in a few of the movies, has announced that he’ll be playing.
