Details about the Live Event
UB has joined NHL Tampa Bay Lightning star Vinny Lecavalier in the battle against pediatric cancer! The UB.net Vincent Lecavalier Celebrity Poker Tournament will be held Friday, September 10th at Derby Lane, St. Petersburg, FL to raise funds for the new Vincent Lecavalier Pediatric Cancer & Blood Disorders Center opened earlier this year at All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg.
One of the largest pediatric cancer centers in the state of Florida, the new 28,000 sq ft Center combines cutting edge technology, teaching, and research along with the latest in patient care. Larger patient rooms allow a loved one to stay overnight with their child and, for the first time, many of the children are able to leave the safety of their rooms due to advanced HEPA filtration that will help protect their compromised immune systems.
Led by our very own Annie Duke and Joe Sebok, the Texas Hold'Em Tournament offers up to a $100,000 prize pool and will feature more than 40 sports and entertainment celebrities as they compete for the $20,000 Last Celebrity Standing prize to benefit their own favorite charity.
The evening, which is presented by DEX Imaging begins at 5 pm with a Private VIP/Players Party for sponsors. Doors open for check-in and The Wild Card Party featuring entertainment, silent auction, raffle, gaming, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres for all non-VIP guests at 6 pm. The tournament gets underway at 7 pm with an awards ceremony to follow.
Sponsorship and group packages begin at $2,500. An individual buy-in for the tournament is $550, but don't worry if you're not an "ace" player. The tournament offers all players an unlimited number of re-buy opportunities during the first hour of play for $100 each. Guest and Clinic Passes are also available for $250 each.
