Her event was successful in raising $30,000 in monies for the charity. The event actually brought in $15,000 in donations and the Full Tilt online casinos poker gambling site doubled that total.

Todd Brunson on the other hand, held his charity land poker casino fundraiser in San Francisco earlier this month with all monies supporting the Leo Brien Foundation – a charity that supports and operates the Camp Okizu for children with cancer.
