Cheers it is always s good to see poker players or other players doing good event as well as sports man this can help lots of charity causes and lots of players do charity works especially gamblers as they know the value of their worth.

Sounds like it was a great event, especially when you consider that there is charity involved in it! It would be nice if more sport people would implement this idea, i'm sure they will gain a lot more fans!
