My friend, Kenny, is hosting a charity tournament on Saturday, August 18th at his home in Mundelein. The tournament is in loving honor of a close family friend of his whose time came far too soon. The following is a note from Kenny regarding Brandon and the game he is hosting.
Brandon Fowler was born February 2, 1975, in Palo Alto, California. He and his family moved to Tigard, Oregon in 1977. Brandon's scholastic achievements include earning his high school diploma from Tigard High School and a bachelor's degree from Bradley University. In 2000, he was married to Holly Rusch. Unfortunately, Brandon has recently passed away and leaves behind his loving wife and two wonderful children, his two-year old daughter, Lindsey, and his nine-month old son, Griffin.
The tournament will be a $30 NL Hold'em Re-Buy Event. 25% of the prize pool will be used to create a college fund for Lindsey and Griffin. Pizza, beer and soda will be provided at the event.
Assuming all the details are worked out in time, this event will also double as our first "WSOP League Tournament". Kenny has helped me out quite a bit over the last couple of days to create a points system that really lends itself to our needs. Remember, any player who would like to participate in our league will pay a $10 fee that will be completely separate from the prize pool. That money will be used to award our league winner a seat in a 2008 WSOP Bracelet Event of his or her choosing. I will be e-mailing more information regarding the league as it becomes available. If you are available on August 18th and you are interested in playing, please e-mail me at railbirdsnest@yahoo.com. I will send you all the information including the breakdown of levels and the re-buy/add-on format that will be used at this event. Kenny, Kim and I hope to see you all there!
