Randy Couture Fighting for the Troops!

It’s not what you think. Randy Couture is unlacing his gloves, and resting from caving in his opponents’ faces to run “Operation All In”, a charity poker tournament that will raise funds for Xtreme Couture G.I. Foundation. The event will go down on August 24th in the Golden Nugget Las Vegas.

Couture was once a member of the 101st Airborne Division in the U.S. Army. His foundation is designed to help support soldiers, and their families, who are wounded in combat. You can read more about the foundation here.

But for those of you that wish to become poker champions, all you’ll need is a $330 buy-in to compete for a chance to win a seat at the Sports Legends Challenge poker tournament at Atlantis Paradise Island. The seat is worth $10,000, so if you can survive the grueling field at Couture’s charity event, you may get a chance to see how you measure against the big boys.

Joining Couture will be fellow UFC superstars Dan Henderson, Stephan Bonnar, Frank Trigg and Phil Baroni. But those aren’t the only heavy hitters crashing the tables! Heavyweights from the world of poker will also storm the floor including Todd Brunson, Chip Jett and Robert Williamson III, amongst many others.
