The annual poker event brings out a slew of gamblers, from the celebs to the land and online casino poker pros, everyone is looking to win some money for the charity of their choice.

The prize up for grabs for the land and online gamblers was a cool US $1 million donated to a charity of the winner’s choice. The Partouche land and online casino gambling group hosted and organized the event once again, and like previous years, the tie-in with the Cannes Film Festival ensured that the event was a huge success.
