Charity tournament features Nancy Cartwright

By Arthur Crowson

Bart Simpson loves poker. Who knew?

The Emmy-award-winning voice of Bart Simpson - Nancy Cartwright - is set to host the Second Annual Monte Carlo Night. With proceeds going to the Devonshire PALS (Police Activities League Supporters) Youth Center it's just one more way you can play poker and feel good about where the money is going.

The benefit is scheduled to take place at Cartwright's house on Sept. 29 with a No-Limit Hold'em Tournament being the main attraction. There will also be food, entertainment and a variety of other games.

Already planning on attending are celebrities like Brad Garrett, Chris Masterson, Danny Masterson, Patrick Cassidy, Laura Prepon, Sinbad and Catherine Bell.

Also joining in on the fun will be a gaggle of professional poker players including Jamie Gold, T.J. Cloutier, Susie Isaacs, Jennifer Harman, Todd Brunson, Daniel Negreanu and Johnny Chan. Regular folks will get a chance to test their poker chops against the very best.

The evening's emcee will be the one and only Tom Kenny, who voices SpongeBob SquarePants, who will introduce a wide array of music, comedy and special guest entertainment. In addition to poker guests can also play pool, pinball and Wii. There will also be a premier smoking lounge as well as a martini bar.

There will be a variety of prizes available including a Simpsons pinball machine signed by the entire cast and five $500 seats into a WSOP Satellite Tournament. There will also be a three-day ticket package for NASCAR 2008 at the Infineon Raceway.

Monte Carlo Night is open to the public for a tax-deductible donation of $500 which includes the buy-in for the Texas No-Limit Hold'em tournament.
