Seth Palansky who is the spokesman for the WSOP has said that if all of the poker players donate just one percent of their
winnings from the events, there could be more than $1.75 million donated to the Nevada Cancer Institute. This would be an
amazing amount of money that would really be put to good use. Poker players would be able to donate just a small amount of
earnings knowing that it could help add up to an unbelievable amount of money that would really help the cause.
Poker players are known for being generous
Palansky also noted that poker players are some of the most generous, charity conscious people. He said that poker players
continually use poker in order to help raise awareness, as well as funds for a lot of worthy causes throughout the year.
Now they have another chance to do just that. The Nevada gaming laws don't allow money to be directly given from a prize
pool to a charity. Instead, many of the poker players have volunteered to donate an amount of their winnings in the past.
It should be exciting to see how much money the players come together to donate for the Nevada Cancer Institute. If the
past is any hint, it should be quite a large amount of money. It may even exceed the figure that Palansky has stated.
