Rodgers Plays for the Love of Poker and People

Todd Rodgers, a self-described amateur living in Las Vegas, plays at the WSOP every year for the love of the game and to play tournaments between $1,000 and $1,500, but also to raise awareness about the difficulties facing families where a member is suffering from cancer, including all the financial, emotional and medical costs that it takes.

Rodgers runs a charity at sendmeonvacation.org, a company that organizes trips and vacations for breast cancer survivors and their families. He sat down next to Phill Hellmuth at the Double Stack event last week and got him to help his organization. For the last seven years, Rodgers’ organization has sent people on vacation to many countries and cruise ships.

Rodgers has now taken his seat in this event and we will continue to monitor his progress.
