Imagine playing Texas Hold-Em at a $3.4 million estate.

Because of the generosity of a Raleigh builder/developer, participants in the Satellite World Series of Poker (WSOP) Championship Qualifying Event will play in these lavish surroundings at the June 28th-29th tournament.

The first round begins at 9 a.m. on Saturday and the final round concludes Sunday afternoon.

The VIP party follows along with a featured unique large item in the silent auction.

Tables are filling quickly, seats are limited and there is a close off date so players who want to compete for the $10,000 stake at Harrah's are encouraged to register soon.

Log onto www.andytransplantfoundation.org to reserve a table or a seat before tickets are sold out.

The committee recently decided to open up a $100 Buy-In Tournament in additional to the $300 Buy-In Tournament.

The $100 Buy-in gives the player automatic play in round 1 from which 5 finalists will move on to Round 2.

The $300 Buy-In players begin in Round 2.

Eight players from this round will move to the final table.

All eight winners will receive prizes and the grand winner goes to Las Vegas to play for 10 million dollars.

"We are delighted to use this estate situated on nearly eight to raise money to save lives by supporting research and increasing donor involvement though greater awareness and education," says Susan Thompson, international TV personality and Andy Transplant Foundation (ATF) founder. "I established AFT Thompson in memory of my brother Andy who passed away due to liver disease while waiting for a transplant. He would be amazed to see this dream home with four fireplaces and almost any amenity imaginable."

Certain lucky players will have the opportunity to sit at the tables along side Andrea Ciliberti, Miss Missouri USA Title 2005 who appeared on Beauty and the Geek, Carolina Hurricane cheerleaders and others to be announced.

This event is being televised.

Local businesses are expected to jump at this opportunity and receive recognition for their contributions to the community.

Support a worthy cause and jump on the bandwagon!

The event is open to anyone over 21 years of age.

Proceeds from the event will go to support the Andy Transplant Foundation and donations on the part of the foundation will be made to North Carolina organ research institutions.
