The Ashes
Poker making a reputation as a mighty charity fundraiser
The Vault Night Club in Florida saw another charity poker tournament played to raise means for a good cause. The event was even more funny than usual as players who got below an established chip count average had to take a piece of clothing off and donate it to the cause. The limit was a bathing suit – the only piece of clothes the least lucky ones were allowed to leave on. Poker has become a massive source of money for charities and some US states where poker is still illegal are now considering changing the law in a way that would allow this source of money in. Poker has become one of the most popular sports in the past decade and an occasional show-off at a charity fundraiser helps people assuming a more tolerant approach to a game that was not long ago being associated with crime and the underworld.
