Matt Damon and Casey Affleck will be taking their chances among the star-studded line-up playing at the celebrity charity poker tournament tomorrow (Thursday Jul 2).
The 3rd Annual Ante Up for Africa Tournament raises money and awareness about the crisis in Darfur, Sudan, where conflicts have caused over 400 000 deaths and created over 3 million exiles. The proceeds go to charities such as Enough and Refugees International that are offering aid and assistance for survivors, and supporting activists dedicated to resolving the crisis.
When the chips are down, the stakes will be high in this celebrity Texas hold-em tournament, but the stars involved know what theyre really playing for, and who they will really be winning for.
If your chances of getting to Las Vegas to see Damon and Affleck play for the charity tournament tomorrow are slim, Ante Up For Africa will be televised on ESPN on Tuesday, August 11 from 8-10pm ET.
