SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 15, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The TASER Foundation for Fallen Officers in association with the Palms Resort and Casino in Las Vegas announce the Third Annual Charity Poker Tournament hosted by 11-time World Series of Poker(r) winner Phil Hellmuth on December 1, 2007. This year's tournament, "Beauty and the Bet" invites participants to bring their best game against Phil Hellmuth and Playboy Playmates Sarah Elizabeth, Stephanie Heinrich, Alison Waite, and Stacy Fuson in a no-holds-barred poker showdown to win tickets to Super Bowl XLII.
There are two tournament levels - the Main Event at a $500 buy-in and the High Roller tournament for a $2,500 buy-in. Half of the proceeds will be donated to the TASER Foundation for Fallen Officers, and the other half will be paid out to the tournament winners. The winners from the main event and the high roller tournament will square off in a tournament of champions, where the grand prize winner will receive two tickets to Super Bowl XLII as well as two tickets to Playboy's Ninth Annual Super Saturday Night Party. Winner's package includes field-level seating with at-your-seat cocktail table service, VIP Pre and Post-Game Parties, VIP tickets to Fabulous Friday Night on the shores of Tempe Town Lake, and VIP tickets to the exclusive Playboy Super Saturday Night Party.
Seating is limited and the event is expected to sell out. Buy-ins as well as room and poker packages are now available at www.BeautyAndTheBet.com where the tournament rules have also been posted.
"We are thrilled to bring Phil Hellmuth back for our third annual poker fundraiser," said Gerry Anderson, TASER Foundation Executive Director. "Phil Hellmuth is a huge draw and anyone who watches the World Series of Poker knows that he brings his A-game to play. We couldn't be happier to provide such a unique opportunity for the community to support the families of fallen officers who have tragically lost their lives in the line of duty as 100% of the proceeds (net of costs and winner pay outs) go directly to the families."
As a charitable organization, the TASER Foundation is proud of the financial contributions that we have been able to provide law enforcement families.

About the TASER Foundation
The TASER Foundation for Fallen Officers was established in November 2004. The TASER Foundation's mission is to honor the service and sacrifice of local and federal law enforcement officers in the United States and Canada lost in the line of duty by providing financial support to their families. The Foundation has distributed $1,100,000 to over 300 families in the United States and Canada. It is the only organization that provides benefits to families in the United States and Canada from federal, state/province, county, and local law enforcement organizations. In addition, its program fills the gap between an officer's death and when pensions and other benefits begin. In most cases a grant request is processed within 24 hours of receipt.
