Throughout the 42nd Annual World Series of Poker in 2011, the poker community is invited to participate in 11 unique free admission seminars from respected pros relating to different poker subject matters. The WSOP has teamed with its official charities, the Prevent Cancer Foundation and the Nevada Cancer Institute, to offer the “First Annual Bad Beat Seminar Series” featuring some of the greatest minds in the gamesharing their personal insights, instruction and stories in hour-long sessions prior to the day’s WSOP play.

wsop_10 All 11 speakers are donating their time for these events. The hope is attendees will either consider a $20
donation to the Bad Beat on Cancer, or agree to pledge 1% of their WSOP tournament winnings to benefit Bad
Beat on Cancer, with 100% of their donations being tax-deductible.

All seminars will feature 45 minutes of lecture time/discussion, followed by 15 minutes of interactive Q & A from
the audience. These seminars will take place at 10:30 AM daily in the Brasilia Ballroom in the Rio Convention
Center, directly adjacent to the tournament rooms where the WSOP is being played.

The inaugural 2011 lineup features the two leading WSOP bracelet winners in history, a pair of prolific high
stakes cash game players, two of the most successful women in the game and several other unique poker
personalities.
