Gold, Kardashian to host UHI celebrity tournament
By Arthur Crowson
Former world champion Jamie Gold is teaming up with Khloe Kardashian to host the Urban Health Institute's Third Annual Celebrity Poker Tournament and Casino Night at the Playboy Mansion.
The proceeds of the tournament will go toward the global relief efforts of the Urban Health Institute, which provides free health services and education to the people in poverty-stricken nations as well as assistance to those who suffer through natural disasters.
Gold burst onto the poker scene in 2006 by winning the WSOP Main Event and in the process making the single highest tournament cash in poker history, while Khloe is the daughter of famous attorney Robert Kardashian and is best-known for her appearances on the reality TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
The event itself will be run by celebrated poker tournament director Sam Minutello, who announced the WSOP final table in 2006 and 2007.
General admission will be $500 while $1,500 includes admission and tournament entry. First place in the tournament will be a WSOP package, second place a Bermuda vacation and third a set of Giovanna wheels. Admission will include an open bar, tours of the mansion led by Playboy Playmates and casino games. DJ Spinderella will also be making an appearance as a celebrity guest.
