Encore Charity Poker Event Offers WPT Seat on November 1
All In For Mental Health will hold a $500 charity poker tournament at Encore Poker Room in Las Vegas on Sunday, November 1, 2026, benefiting the Inspiring Children Foundation. The winner can choose a $10,400 WPT World Championship seat or $10,000 in cash.
A Charity Event With a Championship Seat
The top prize provides an entry into the separate WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas. The November fundraiser is not a starting flight or a championship event itself; it offers a route into that larger competition while supporting the foundation’s youth programs.
Organizers list prizes for 10 finishing positions. Beyond the winner’s choice, the published awards include hotel stays, restaurant meals and entertainment experiences at Wynn. Two additional awards recognize the most rebuys and the highest chip count at the end of registration. Listed package values are approximate.
All In For Mental Health: Entry and Schedule
Registration and a cocktail hour begin at 6 p.m., with play scheduled for 7 p.m. local Las Vegas time. The advertised structure includes $200 rebuys and a $100 add-on in addition to the initial buy-in. Those optional purchases increase a participant’s total cost beyond the $500 entry.
The venue is the Encore poker room within the Wynn Las Vegas resort complex. Players researching the location can consult the Wynn Las Vegas Poker Room Guide. The organizer’s event page provides the current prize list and an online registration link.
Poker and Sports Guests Listed
Jonathan Little and Celebrity Poker Tour champion Princess Love are among the announced special guests. The list also includes Pro Football Hall of Famer Ray Lewis, former NHL player Deryk Engelland and media personality Mike Majlak. These are scheduled appearances rather than confirmation of attendance on the night.
PokerNews reported the event details on October 21. The organizer identifies the Wynn Resorts Foundation as presenter and the Inspiring Children Foundation as host and beneficiary.
Where the Fundraiser’s Support Goes
The Inspiring Children Foundation describes its work as mental health and wellness support for underprivileged youth. Its programs combine mentoring with education, leadership development, tennis and entrepreneurship. The poker tournament is one part of a wider gathering associated with the Not Alone Summit and Not Alone Awards.
For players considering the fundraiser, the central choice is a charity tournament with a published prize package and optional additional purchases. Check the organizer’s latest registration information before making plans.
