When players hit the Borgata Poker Room they're either looking for a big tournament score or hoping for the ultimate bad beat at the cash tables, as in the Bad Beat Jackpot.

But on August 19th players can combine both passions by playing in the fourth annual "Put a Bad Beat on Hunger" charity poker tournament.

“This is a great event and will provide some wonderful support for the New Jersey Food Bank,” says poker pro and media personality Bernard Lee.

This year's tournament is a $300 tournament, where $60 goes directly to the Southern Branch of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey.

Lee and Cabot have partnered together for many charitable efforts over the years and this mission is to combat hunger and break the cycle of poverty for families throughout the greater South Jersey region.

“I think for poker players, these events are a lot like charity golf tournaments,” Lee told the Borgata Poker Blog. 

“It gives you a chance to combine your passion with playing with also doing something for the community. It’s a way to give back and combine it with your passion. People play charity golf tournaments because they love golf.  I love poker and it’s just a great combination.”

You can get full details on the tournament here, but these are the basics:

Sunday, August 19th - 11 am
Deep Stack Semi-Turbo No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
25k in chips
15 minute levels (Level 13+ / 25 min. each)
