Poker included in the NBA All Star weekend

2007-02-15 16:50:34

This year's NBA All Star weekend is taking place in Las Vegas, the city of gold and gambling, and poker is playing a part in the celebrations.

Tonight, poker players with some cash to flash can buy in to the $10,000 Hoopology tournament at the Hard Rock Casino.

Basketball professionals and poker professionals will make an appearance at the press launch of the charity evening.

Celebrities like Michael Jordan, Scotty Pippen, Charles Oakley and BJ Armstrong, are all tipped to appear alongside the big names in poker Patrik Antonius and Linda Johnson.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Trent Tucker Non Profit Organisation which aims to help children at risk.

If your budget doesn't quite cover events of this size, then there is a $2,000 buy in Poker with the Stars game going on at Planet Hollywood on Friday night.

And players can celebrate their winnings with a Rat Pack Party at the same venue which Nelly, Jermaine Dupri and Pharrell are rumoured to be hosting.
