Duke Hosts After-School All-Stars Charity Tournament
Annie Duke is hosting a charity poker tournament in support of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s nonprofit for at-risk youth group After-School All-Stars Thursday.
The event will go off May 20th at 7:30 p.m. PT inside the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles and a host of celebrities and poker pros expected to attend.
Actors Don Cheadle, David Zayas, Sara Rue and poker pros Adam “Roothlus” Levy and Tiffany Michelle are among those expected to compete for $35,000 in prizes sponsored by Ultimate Bet.
All the proceeds from the $250 event with $100 re-buys will go to After-School All-Stars.
“After-School All-Stars is simply an amazing organization,” said Duke. “The children they serve live in some of the most poverty-stricken areas in the country where their other options are gangs, drugs, or worse.
“ASAS not only gives them a safe place to be while their parents work, but also provides them additional support in school work and outlets for expression through extracurricular activities. Poker players can be incredibly generous people, so it was a no-brainer for me that this event should happen.”
