Today, at 2pm, the 2009 WSOP feel-good-tourney-of-the-year will be hitting the felt. Ante Up for Africa (AUFA), hosted by Don Cheadle and Annie Duke, is raising money for an undeniably great cause – the crisis in Darfur, Sudan.
With over $2Million raised, AUFA is hitting its third year. Expect bankable stars, poker pros and a fast-paced gaming. Hollywood A-listers, pros and philanthropists will be gaming for this worthy event.
Proceeds raised will go towards assisting survivors and supporting activism around the cause. If you’re down at the Rio, check out this event. It’s a pretty heavy topic, and one of the most worthwhile events of the entire World Series of Poker.
Matt Damon, Jason Alexandar, Sarah Silverman, Ben Affleck and many more are expected to be out.
GL to all of the players and the organization.

Kudos to Annie, she does a lot for a few charities. I really think that she was a pretty good Ambassador for the poker industry when she was on Celebrity Apprentice. (though Joan Rivers would say different ! lol )
