ACM Launches 1st Annual Charity Poker Tournament at MGM Grand

As part of the ever growing roster of events surrounding the annual Academy of Country Music Awards show, the ACM is starting a new tradition: a charity poker tournament. Makes sense, since the ACM awards are being held in a gambling mecca, right?

Hosted by award-winning country artists Big & Rich, along with Two Foot Fred, the event starts a 2pm on Monday, May 14, at the MGM Grand.

Interested in grabbing a seat at the table? The registration fee is $375, with $75 going to benefit the Academy of Country Music Charitable Fund, $50 going to MGM to run the tournament, and $250 going into the pot. All fees must be made in Cash within 90 minutes of the start time of the tournament (2pm).
