Whether you love or hate Phil Hellmuth, it’s hard to argue with his latest cause: the Holdem for Heroes charity. For once he’s putting his big mouth to good use by hosting the charity’s annual celebrity tournament which is scheduled to take place in Arizona on November 19-21 at the Fort McDowell Casino. Let’s hope Hellmuth’s money making skills are as good when they’re serving someone other than himself!

All kidding aside, Hellmuth helped the charity to raise over $500,000 at last year’s event. Holdem for Heroes is a poker-oriented offshoot of the TASER Foundation for Fallen Officers which provides financial and educational support to families of officers lost in the line of duty. The charity raises additional money through private donations, auctions and a celebrity golf tournament, but for the last five years Holdem for Heroes has been one of their most lucrative fundraising endeavors.

This year, Hellmuth will be joined by country star and official TASER Foundation host Mark Wills as well as a slew of other poker pros, musicians, professional athletes and TV stars (like Montel Williams, Young MC and Kevin Sorbo). You can compete with the stars for as little as $115 or as much as $1000. Half of all the entries will go to the TASER Foundation. Event winners will walk away with a chunk of change and a seat at a final table that will compete for a paid entry to the WSOP’s $10,000 Main Event.
