The Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) is gearing up for its highly anticipated annual event, set to take place on November 10th at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. This year, the event will benefit a cause near and dear to many in the poker community: autism awareness and research.
The event, known as the “CSOP Chip in for Autism”, will bring together poker pros, celebrities, and philanthropists for a night of high-stakes poker and fundraising. The buy-in for the tournament is $300, with unlimited rebuys available for the first three levels. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Autism Speaks organization, a leading autism advocacy group that funds research, raises awareness, and provides support for individuals and families affected by autism.
In addition to the tournament, the evening will feature a silent auction with a variety of unique items up for bid, including signed memorabilia, luxury vacation packages, and exclusive experiences with poker pros. There will also be a cocktail reception, gourmet dinner, and live entertainment to keep guests entertained throughout the night.
Notable figures from the poker world expected to participate in the event include reigning World Series of Poker Main Event champion Joe McKeehen, poker pro and philanthropist Matt Stout, and actress and poker enthusiast Jennifer Tilly. Other confirmed attendees include NFL legend Richard Seymour and actor and comedian Brad Garrett.
The CSOP Chip in for Autism event is just one of the many charitable initiatives organized by the CSOP throughout the year. Founded in 2014 by Matt Stout, the CSOP aims to use the game of poker to raise money and awareness for various charitable causes. To date, the organization has raised over half a million dollars for a variety of charitable organizations.
With its unique blend of poker, philanthropy, and star-studded glamour, the CSOP Chip in for Autism promises to be an unforgettable night for all involved. Whether you’re a seasoned poker player or just looking to support a great cause, this event is sure to be a hit. So mark your calendars for November 10th and get ready to chip in for autism!
