Poker Players Who Care Represent in the Tag Team Event
Raea Jean Leinster and David Frutchey are at MGM National Harbor and are playing the tag team event tonight, but they are also representing a poker community with a bigger mission.
The pair are members of Poker Players Who Care, a Northern Virginia group that brings together poker players who enjoy the game while raising money for charitable causes.
“We are fun, savvy, sophisticated, serious poker players who also love raising money for various causes and charities,” Leinster said.
The group's annual event takes place each February, and this year's event raised more than $75,000 for children's charities and initiatives throughout Northern Virginia.
Many other Poker Players Who Care members have also made their way to MGM National Harbor for the Potomac Poker Open, giving Leinster and Frutchey a chance to reconnect with fellow members and support their teammates at the tables.
