More important, the annual poker tournament for traders is coming up as well. Last year the prestigious title was won by Gunnar Harms from the neat performing hedgefund HiQ. A buy-in of 200 euro isn’t cheap, as there is no price money attached. All proceeds from the poker night are donated to charity, there’s no management fee or any expenses at all – sponsors have arranged free drinks and the location. The charity this year is the Dutch Cystic Fibrosis foundation. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic and cruel disease, which has impact on the whole body but most notably troubles breathing. Serious progress has been made through research, life expectancy has risen but is still only 40 years and no cure exists.
A group of 30 traders from several firms already confirmed their participation, there’s room for 120 players. Last year was a big succes, mark the date of saturday April 16th in your agenda for some No Limit Texas Hold ’em poker.
