The article states that celebrities are invited (the list is in the article) and to help generate interest, PokerStars is inviting a select number of fans to take part.

It's good that they have decided to support such a charity event . Good to raise some money for this cause , for any cause that helps people affected , people in pain , people in great need , as it happenned with the ACR charity online tournament ,, where many celebrities did actually take part . On the gossip side , i want to see how many important or well kmnown people or poker players will play for Pokerstars

Also , don't want to be a b , but I would expect PokerStars to guarantee more than $1M , if ACR gave $2M , how much should the great poker leader give for such a philanthropic cause , $1M only ?????

alright so they do this kind of event and those who participate.

Very nice. Thanks vm for the info.

What a great initiative ... and with a great purpose .... I find it excellent ... hopefully we see other sites doing something similar to pokerstar .... I hope to see you on Twitch ...!

Maybe the $1 million is a start? We will see who else contributes.

I route for Bryan Cranston to win this ....How many Braking Bad fans are here ? Well if we talk about pros maybe Chris MoneyMaker is gonna win this . Either way is charity .. Something good at last from PokerStars .

Watching on twitch.

Teri was sooooo dreamy! *swoon*

I'd like Bryan to win too, he's cooler than cool!



~EDIT:- Or Ed Norton, be awesome if Worm wins!
