OPT Charity Game
For the past two years, with the help of Steve, I have been running an annual charity poker game to help raise funds for my Wife’s Walk to End Woman’s Cancer. This game has been a huge success in both raising money and popularity among those who have attended, and I thank you all for that.
As some of you may know my father recently passed away from complications of many issues, however all the issues that sped up his demise can be traced back to Diabetes. So after a discussion with my wife, this year we have decided to run this game in honour of my father and all funds raised will be donated to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
As this has touched me closer then something that I could never have ever imagined it is important to me to make this event as large, as much fun, and to raise as much funds as possible. I would love to see a huge turnout for this event.
This event will follow the same format as the previous charity events.
Saturday July 20th - Noon Start time
$100 buy in for 8000 starting chips (all goes into the prize pool)
$20 option for an extra 2000 chips (goes towards Diabetes)
Blind Structure will follow that of The WSOP Main Event and be 30mins in length.
Rebuy - $40 for 10k chips if you bust in the first 4 levels (50% to prize pool/50% to charity)
Location - Greg's Place in Bolton
Dinner - Anita will be making us a buffet style dinner for 5pm
As in the past I have tried to raise additional prizes to be used throughout the event. These prizes were used as a way to add additional value to the final table, or for fun like the 1st one out, or for raffling off to raise funds, etc. I will once again be doing all I can to add additional prizes to this event as well. Some of the prizes that have been donated in the past are...
Blue Jay Tickets
Rounds of golf
Rounds of Paintball
Poker Related Items
Sports Jerseys
Plus much more
If you are in a position that can allow you to donate a prize to this event please let me know. Anything that can be done to help make this event as exciting and fun be will be greatly appreciated.
If you are interested in playing please sign up on the OPT website or post in this thread.

A charity that is close to my heart as well, as my own father's issue were primarily caused by the same thing.

Anyways. I have out you in
However, I will be making a donation to the Canadian Diabetes Association on the day of the tourney in yours and my Dad's honour.
It's closed for some reason on the mobile app, if you go onto the site you can RSVP.
I'm so in!
Hmm. Now that is strange
On my meetup app all of the OPT games are closed . I checked other meet ups on the app and they're working.
Are you logged in before you try to access the events?
- 4 tickets to the Toronto Blue Jays vs. Kansas City Royals, Friday Aug. 30th
These seats are in the 200 VIP section behind right behind home plate. They are the bar stool seats along the rail. Without a doubt one of the best seats in the house. They have a value of $75.00/seat
Blind Structure will follow that of The WSOP Main Event and be 30mins in length.
Rebuy - $60 for 10k chips if you bust in the first 4 levels (50% to prize pool/50% to charity)
So which is correct?
Option is for initial buyin, the rebuy is separate and can only be taken if you bust.
All is correct, think of it this way. $140 gets you 10k in chips. $100 goes to prize pool, $40 goes to charity. If you bust in the 1st 4 levels you can rebuy for a full 10k for $60. $30 will go to the prize pool and $30 goes to charity.
Sorry Bill, never set that page up. If you want to donate I would suggest either donating directly to the Canadian Diabetes Association

I especially want to thank Steve and Pudge, as some of you may know I was unable to attend the game due to the fact that I've been in the hospital with some heart issues. Thank you Steve and Pudge for running this game in my absence, it meant the world to me for this to have happened
Wow. I hope you are better soon.
Good work raising money for a good cause.
