On the WSOP broadcast on ESPN on Tuesday night Kent Senter tugged at the heartstrings of every American watching and now the poker community will have a chance to make a difference in the Senter family’s lives.

Fighting Multiple Myelome Cancer, Kent’s dream was to play in the WSOP Main Event. His wife Patty reached out to Bluff Magazine seeking help in making it happen and through PokerStars Kent, Patty and their two children, flew to Las Vegas where Kent played in the Main Event making it all the way to Day 2 before running into the buzzsaw that was Bertrand Grospellier.

“I’m so grateful and there’s no way to thank everyone for what they’ve done,” said Patty Senter, “PokerStars and Bluff have gone above and beyond and anything they could have possibly done for us, they have. A ‘random act of kindness’ doesn’t even describe what these generous people have done. This is something we will never forget and are forever grateful.”

Saturday, September 12 online poker players are being encouraged to enter a $10 w/rebuys benefit tournament that will help Kent and his family escape from the debt caused by the mounting medical bills. Bluff Magazine is matching all donations up to $1,000. Prizes, including a WCOOP Main Event buy-in, are being provided by both PokerStars and Bluff Magazine.
