WPT seat to be the prize at a charity poker tournament in Las Vegas

The Encore Poker Room in Las Vegas will host a charity poker tournament called "All In For Mental Health" on Sunday, November 1. NFL legend Ray Lewis, Mike Majlak, co-host of the Impaulsive show, and NHL player Deryk Engelland will attend the event. Poker professional Jonathan Little and Celebrity Poker Tour champion Princess Love are also among the guests.

The buy-in for the tournament is $500. Players can re-enter for $200 and buy an add-on for $100. Proceeds will go to the Las Vegas-based Inspiring Children Foundation, which supports at-risk youth in physical, social, emotional and mental health. Registration will open on site at 6:00 p.m. with a cocktail hour, and can also be done online. Cards will be in the air at 7:00 p.m. local time.

The winner will choose between a $10,400 WPT World Championship seat and $10,000 in cash. The other nine players who make the final table will receive prizes such as a stay at the Wynn Tower Suites, dinner at SW Steakhouse and Sinatra, and a bottle package at XS. The player with the most re-entries will win a two-night stay at Wynn Las Vegas Resort, dinner for two at Sinatra and two tickets to Awakening. The chip leader at the end of registration will receive a VIP bottle package for up to six people at XS Nightclub.

The foundation's CEO, Trent Alenik, joined the program at age 14 as one of the organization's first students. He later went to Villanova University on a tennis scholarship, returned to Las Vegas and rose from volunteer to CEO. Co-founder Marty Hennessy said the tournament means more than cards and prizes. The event's sponsors include Coco Love, Stitched, Wynn and the World Poker Tour.
