The charity event raised over $43,000, with sixty-seven players and fans paying $300 for a seat in the action. The real money came from the unlimited $100 rebuy option with Layne Flack setting a record of 23 re-donations. The eventual winner Tiffany Michelle took second place in total re-donations with 19.

The celebrity event presented by Toyota Trucks attracted a whole crew of celebrities, MX Riders and professional poker players. The event was hosted by rider Jimmy Button and poker pro Jeff Madsen with Jamie Gold and Robert Williamson III acting as the event emcees.

The big poker names to attend the event included Layne Flack, Jon Friedberg, James Mordue, Hoyt Corkins, Todd Brunson, Jennifer Harman, Marco Traniello, Karina & Chip Jett, Adam Schoenfeld, Maria Ho, Brandon Cantu, and Tiffany Michelle.

The final table featured Tiffany Michelle, Brandon Cantu, Jeff Madsen, James Mordue, Adam Schoenfeld, Lonny Flack (Layne's brother), Matt Lindsey, Curtis Cunningham, Dana K., and Ari Pace.

The MX fans were no match for the poker professionals on the final table with Jeff Madsen and Tiffany Michelle getting down to heads up. The tournament was all over when Michelle woke up to pocket aces and a push by Madsen.

Madsen's was unable to catch up giving Tiffany Michelle the win, and the first place prize: $10,000 entry into the 2009 WSOP Main Event (along with a spiffy watch from Curtis and Co Watches, 22lb crystal trophy, and accommodations at the fabulous MGM Grand Las Vegas)
