Bow-wow-wow Yippi Yo Yippi Raise

As we learned in Vegas during the 2005 WSOP, Bodog.com knows how to throw an event.

On July 22-23, the online gambling site will host "Bodog Salutes the Troops" in Hawaii.   The two-day charity event will raise money for the Fisher House Foundation, a US Military Services charity.  Along with a charity poker tournament, the two-day event also features a concert by Snoop Dogg (pictured right, flashing his favorite poker sign, pocket 3’s), where he will che-zeck rizzaise yo’ ass. 

Also attending/playing will be Survivor's (and 2005 WSOP Main Event entrant) Rob Mariano with Amber Brkich, Dulè Hill, Ben Roethlisberger, Estella Warren, Joshua Malina, Colin Quinn, Wanda Sykes, Katherine Heigl, Carson Daly, Matt Savage, and poker players Josh Arieh and David Williams.   We’ll just throw it out there and say that, personally, those two would be atop the Wicked Chops Poker “most likely to win this charity tournament” favorites list. 

So if you’re one of our Hawaiian readers, or will be in Hawaii this weekend, or watch Hawaii Five-O, say “Aloha” (“hello” context, not “good-bye” context) to this event.  Come for the scenery (both of Hawaii and the Bodog girls, pictured left and right, respectively) and sounds, and stick around to play some poker. 

And support our troops.
