Ante Up For Africa - Where Poker Stars Meet Film Stars
2 years agoThe "Ante Up for Africa" tournament is a change of pace for the World Series.
With all these hard-boiled poker players climbing all over each other to take down the latest bracelet, this tournament provides an opportunity for some of the more fortunate members of society to give something back to those in less well-off positions.
Being a charity event, there is a jovial atmosphere surrounding the tournament and the various players, drawn from all parts of the celebrity world get the opportunity to sit side-by-side with the likes of Chris Ferguson, Howard Lederer and Erik Seidel whilst all contributing to a good cause.
We aren't covering the tournament hand-for-hand, but check our blog section for some of interesting tidbits from the tournament.
