Atlantic City’s Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa is all set to host the 6th Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) night on the 30th of January which will feature a celebrity charity poker event that will benefit two charities in the garden state which is the Community FoodBank of New Jersey and Habitat for Humanity of Atlantic County.
Poker Pro Matt Stout founded the CSOP which has grown in popularity with every passing year. The CSOP was founded as a charitable and not for profit organization whose key goal is to raise funds for local charities by organizing poker tournaments that generate funds to help these charities. The CSOP relies on professional poker players, celebrity poker players and regular poker players to assist in its fund raising efforts.
