UltimateBet is holding an Ante Up for Africa tournament Saturday, Dec. 19, at 7:30 p.m. ET. Annie Duke will play in the event, and all funds raised through the tournament will be donated to Ante Up For Africa, an organization created to raise public awareness and funds for the humanitarian crisis in Darfur.
The buy-in for the no-limit hold’em rebuy event is $2, and the entire buy-in will go to the charity. Players will be playing for $2,500 worth of gear, including an X-BOX 360 Elite system, a 32 gig iPod touch, a Sony Handycam camcorder, a Nintendo DS, a seat in UltimateBet’s $200,000 guarantee, a Sony 8-inch portable DVD player, a Bluetooth laser virtual keyboard, an iOmega external hard drive, an Aero bed tailgater chair, and several poker-branded T-shirts.
“There’s no better time than the holidays to do something good,” said Duke, cardroom consultant for UltimateBet and cofounder of Ante Up For Africa. “UltimateBet is once again inviting players to make a big difference through a charity poker tournament that’s incredibly rewarding on so many levels, and I’m honored to be a part of it.”
