Jennifer Harman’s tournament is open to all players 21 years of age and up. Bring along a $330 buy-in and a stack of Franklins for the rebuys.

The true winners of this charity tournament are the thousands of homeless animals that will receive vet care, freedom from hunger, and comfort as a result of your participation and generosity to support the Nevada SPCA with donations of money and your time. Proceeds from the Jennifer Harmon Charity Poker Tournament go to Nevada SPCA, a nonprofit organization operating a no-kill sanctuary for stray animals in Las Vegas. The Nevada SPCA Organization needs volunteers to accomplish their humane mission so volunteers are welcome.
