This is a very nice and honorable charity event internationally, to give some to help people who are in need of drinkable water. Good luck with the event.

This time of the year is very apropriate for something like this and pro poker players also have a heart, although having a poker face . I bet this makes them feel better with themselves. They make the life with clean honest earned money, all fruit of their effort, but being so many, it is good to share. Just like some pros from other milionare sports also do, i am sure!
