Hellmuth to Host Tourney for Fallen Law Officers

Tourney Takes Place at Fort McDowell Casino Next Month

Phil Hellmuth is again heading to Arizona to help raise money to honor fallen enforcement officers both here and in Canada.

The TASER Foundation's poker tournament will take place Saturday, Dec. 9, at the Fort McDowell Casino in Scottsdale, Arizona. Hellmuth is hosting the tournament for the second straight year. And someone who plays in the tournament will walk about of the casino with an entry into the 2007 World Series of Poker.

The day actually consists of two no-limit hold'em events: a $200 with rebuys and add-ons starts at 3 p.m., and a "high rollers" event that costs $1,000 (plus rebuys and add-ons) that starts at 7:30. Half of each prize pool goes to the TASER Foundation.

The top 10 finishes in the $200 tournament, and the top five in the "high rollers" tourney, will then play a tourney for a $10,000 seat into next year's WSOP.

The TASER Foundation, which was formed in 2004, helps the families of officers killed in the line of duty. For more information, or to register for the event, visit taserfoundation.org.
