Betting on Your Digital Rights: Poker Tournament Benefiting the EFF at DEF CON 33

Here’s the American English translation:

The Hacker Summer Camp is approaching, and with it comes the third edition of the Charity Poker Tournament organized by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) during DEF CON 33. This event will take place next Friday, August 8, at 12:00 p.m. in the Horseshoe Poker Room, under the direction of Tarah Wheeler, a security expert and board member of the EFF.

Registration costs $250, with an additional $100 fee on the day of the tournament, and unlimited rebuys are allowed. All participants will receive a complimentary one-year Titanium membership to the EFF, adding an extra incentive to this attractive initiative.

Tarah Wheeler has been working hard since last year to offer an even more exciting experience. This year, the tournament will feature host Lintile and will have rewards for eliminating other players. Each elimination will earn a bounty pin, and those who collect the most pins will compete for prestigious prizes.

One of the highlights will be the inclusion of Celebrity Bounties. Players will have the opportunity to eliminate notable figures like Wendy Nather and Chris “WeldPond” Wysopal, earning not only EFF merchandise but also the respect of their peers. An additional incentive comes from Mike Wheeler, Tarah’s father, who will donate $250 to the EFF for every player who eliminates him.

For those who wish to participate but are unfamiliar with poker, the tournament will offer a free clinic before it begins. This class, led by Mike Wheeler, will take place from 11:00 to 11:45 a.m. and will cover the rules, strategies, and etiquette of the game.

The organizers encourage all interested parties to register and invite their friends to join in this unique experience that combines fun with support for digital rights.
