PokerStars.com players get glam in Cannes

By Erin Warner

The premier of heist movie Ocean's 13 at the Cannes Film Festival was a tony affair, with notables such as Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Don Cheadle, JaspudUF, herbert, berchem13 and SM4RTASS strolling the red carpet.

The former are remarkable for their roles in the star-studded film, the latter for winning their spot at the premier through PokerStars.com.

The four players earned the top placements at a poker tournament to raise money for the embattled Darfur region of Sudan, which raised more than $1 million for the charity Not On Our Watch.

The winners faced the glare of the paparazzi flashes after being dropped off at the event by a limousine. Later, the men and a guest each took in the worldwide premier of the movie.

After all was said and done, some of the players went on to exclusive parties, where they rubbed elbows with celebrities such as Quentin Tarantino, Kylie Minogue and actors from Ocean's 13.

On June 5, four other PokerStars.com players - H@££INGGOL, LAFMAN123, xBryceyx, and wushuplaya - will attend the gala premier in Hollywood.
