Ante Up For Africa at the European Poker Tour Grand Final

Thursday, 16 April 2009

PokerStars.com has announced that the third Ante Up For Africa charity tournament will take place during the EPT Grand Final week. The €4,000 buy in event will take place in Monte Carlo at 6pm on 27 April 2009, the day before the EPT Grand Final Main Event.

All the prize money from the Monte Carlo event will go to Ante Up For Africa, a charity funding the humanitarian mission in Darfur where a campaign of ethnic cleansing has left 300,000 people dead and 3 million living in refugee camps. The two previous Ante Up For Africa tournaments have raised almost $2m for the humanitarian effort.

A star studded field including former WSOP champion Joe Hachem, Daniel Negreanu and Vanessa Rousso have confirmed their attendance. Hollywood A listers including Don Cheadle, Jason Alexander, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have all appeared in previous Ante Up For Africa events. PokerStars are awarding the winner a special package to their flagship EPT event in The Bahamas in January 2010.
