Bad Beat on Cancer was started a few years ago by Rafe Furst and Phil Gordon to help fund cancer research and prevention – by playing poker. They canvas the entire poker community by asking professionals and amateurs alike to donate 1% of whatever they win at the WSOP. They've been extraordinarily successful over the last few years, raising over $1 million for a very worthy cause. It's a very fiscally responsible organization, nearly 86 cents from every dollar goes to the cancer research programs that they're funding. It's a great organization and they have most of the world's greatest players signed up
