Play Poker in the Big Leagues
Last month at the online casino PlayersOnly.com, players were given the chance
to win a trip to the Playboy Mansion. PlayersOnly offered the tournament winner
entry into the Celebrity Poker Tournament and Casino Night. The celebrity event
is exclusive, so basically the only way to win a spot into the Playboy Mansion
is through PlayersOnly online casinos poker tournament, unless of course you’re
a celebrity.
The winner of PlayersOnly doesn’t even have to feel glutinous about winning the
$1,500 entry fee, because the Celebrity Tournament benefits the Urban Health
Institute. In addition to the entry fee, the online casino provides for airfare
and hotel accommodations. The charity poker tournament occurred last weekend,
April 28, 2007, and the lucky winner now has secured two seats at the 2007 World
Series of Poker main even. Additionally, the celebrity even paid out roughly
$50,000 in prizes, and all proceeds from the even went to the UHI. The UHI
provides direct care, medicine and medical equipment for places hit by man-made
disasters.
Last year’s celebrity event included the following stars: Don Cheadle, Dr. Jerry
Buss, Shannon Elizabeth, Mekhi Phifer, James Lesure, Tara Reid, Steve Harris,
Oliver Hudson. But only Don Cheadle managed to beat out all of the celebs, and
the poker professionals. And now, thanks to PlayersOnly, though he didn’t win,
the PlayersOnly tournament winner had the chance to play with the pros up close
and personal.
