Casino Marysville welcomes Jerry Yang for earthquake relief tournament

Since 2006, Casino Marysville has been serving the community, hosting charitable events, providing funds for nearby schools, and so much more. Their next charitable endeavor will be held on Aug. 9. Partnering up with Jerry Yang, the 2007 World Series of Poker champion and The Cardroom, they are out to raise money for the recent earthquake victims in China.

So, they are calling all poker players—don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play in a live, no-limit Texas Hold’em tournament with the champ! You will get to put your poker faces on with one of the best, contribute to a good cause, and have fun—all at the same time!

The buy-in for this great event will be $100, with half the proceeds going towards prize purses for the winners and the other half going towards helping the five million people who are currently homeless and in need of food and supplies. (Additional donations above the cost of the buy-in will be gladly accepted.)

Casino Marysville will also be raffling prizes like there is no tomorrow. From plasma screen televisions to cruises and top-notch Oakland Raiders tickets and more! All funds raised from the raffle tickets will go directly to the earthquake relief fund.

Sign ups are already in progress. Don’t miss out, as seats are limited. A bounty has already been placed on Mr. Yang. Whoever can take him down during the tournament gets a bonus. It may be money or a nice cruise for two to somewhere beautiful, but there is only one way to find out—come and play!
