A country singer is hosting a star-studded poker tournament in order to raise funds for charity.

Tim McGraw is hosting the evening on November 3rd and players will be competing for a trip to Las Vegas and a seat at the table in the World Series of Poker.

"This is shaping up to be a very special evening, one that will both entertain and inspire people," said Tim McGraw.

"In addition to trying their hand at poker, guests will enjoy a live stage show, live and silent auctions and an awards ceremony honoring people who have helped to improve the quality of life for brain tumor patients and their families."

The Texas Hold'em tournament is being played in honor of the Tug McGraw Foundation, which is named after Tim's father, the famous Philadelphia Phillies pitcher who died from brain cancer.

Baseball commentator Bob Costas will act as master of ceremonies and celebrity poker players include former Chicago Bear Super Bowl winning quarterback, Jim McMahon and Jim Thome of the Chicago White Sox.

The event is to take place at the Crystal Tea Room in Philadelphia and further information and the option to purchase tickets are available at tugmcgraw.org.
