Andy Roddick hosts charity poker event

2006-12-05 16:08:33

Hollywood will be the setting for tennis star Andy Roddick's latest sporting outing &ndash but this time he will be playing on green felt rather than green grass.

The Andy Roddick Texas Hold 'Em Charity Tournament will see the Roddick, holder of the record for the fastest serve ever recorded, compete against a number of online users via a new video game for the Xbox 360.

The event is the latest in a series of promotional poker activities featuring celebrities, with previous star events including famous names such as Jack Black, Jason Giambi of the New York Yankees and Ludacris.

Open to those aged 21 and over, ticket proceeds from the event will go to the Andy Roddick Foundation, an organisation set up by Roddick aiming to improve the lives of at-risk children across the country.

The tournament itself takes place on December 8th at 17:30 EST. No prize money is on offer- so gamblers looking to win big should consider a visit to their favourite online casino once they've gambled with the stars.
