While players were battling it out during the final days of WPT Seminole Hard Rock Showdown at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, several well-known athletes, the WPT Royal Flush Girls, Mike Sexton, Vince Van Patten and many others were participating in the “Catch On” Charity Poker Classic to benefit the OJ McDuffie Catch 81 Foundation.
Here’s a little about Catch 81 from their website:
“The Catch 81 Foundation has been able to raise money for various organizations and other non-profits that aid in the support of at-risk children. With the help of private donors and corporate sponsors, The Catch 81 Foundation will continue to grow and make great strides towards funding various programs and charitable causes and change the lives and futures of our youth.”
