Tampa’s Tony March play his poker not for himself, but for his foundation — The Pay it Backward Foundation.

March is the founder of the Tampa-based charitable organization which “invests itself in the lives of the underprivileged broken, abused, homeless and forgotten.” March came from an impoverished background, and after finding professional success, was compelled to combat poverty in the communities in which he lives. Thus began the Pay it Backward Foundation.

According to the foundation’s website:

“[The][Pay][it][Backward][Foundation] has been created to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, assist the poor and encourage the broken hearted while, at the same time, seeking to enrich their spirits and raise their hopes for a better future.”

March has a passion for poker and uses his skills to provide for his foundation donating all of his winnings to charity. Last year’s Winter Poker Open boasted a prize pool in excess of $1,000,000, so there’s plenty of opportunity for a charitable score here in the Main Event.

Midway through Level 8, March is look good with about 70,000.
