FullTilt Poker Keeps a Woman’s Memory – and Hope – Alive

December 4, 2008

On Wednesday of this week, December 3, Full Tilt Poker held an event that was about far more than sweeping the table and winning the big prize. On one hand, it was a No Limit Texas Holdem tournament like any other.

On the other hand, it was a memorial, in honor of Mindy Trinidad, a 23-year-old wife and former model who was well on her way to becoming one of the new shining poker stars, until she was tragically taken from us early after a six-week fight with leukemia.

The tournament was hosted by Erick “Edog” Lindgren. The prize pool was $10 million. The event was open to the public, with a $5 + $5 buy-in. The first $5 went to the prize pool, the second $5 to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society/Southern Nevada (LLS).
