The charity poker event of the year is heading to the world-renowned Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. The Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) is bringing its star-studded lineup of celebrities, poker pros, and philanthropists to raise money for a good cause.
The event, which takes place on November 13th, will feature a Texas Hold’em tournament with a buy-in of $300, with proceeds going to benefit Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that aims to provide affordable housing to families in need.

The event will kick off with a cocktail reception and silent auction, where attendees can bid on items such as signed memorabilia, luxury experiences, and poker tournament buy-ins. The tournament itself will feature several levels of play, with the final table being live-streamed for fans to watch online.
“We are excited to bring the CSOP to Seminole Hard Rock and raise money for Habitat for Humanity,” said Matt Stout. “It’s a great way to combine our love for poker with our desire to make a positive impact in the world.”
Overall, the Charity Series of Poker Heads to Seminole Hard Rock is shaping up to be a star-studded event that promises plenty of excitement, entertainment, and most importantly, charitable giving. It’s a win-win for all involved, and a testament to the power of poker to make a difference in the world.
