PLAY WITH THE STARS, WIN A BEACH HOUSE - ALL FOR
CHARITY
13 March 2009
888.com's Pacific Poker to award seat at the
Cannes Charity Poker Event...and a beach house
Pacific Poker.com is putting the finishing touches to an
ambitious promotion that will see an online poker player
win a seat in the next star-studded Cannes Charity Poker
Event - a private charity tournament that will run in
tandem with the Cannes Film Festival later this year.
Scheduled for May 19th 2009, the high profile
event attracts top poker-playing celebs, with Ben
Affleck and Matt Damon already signed up for this year.
Pacific Poker's winner will be sponsored for travel to
Cannes and return and a three day stay in a five-star
hotel, along with any buy-in required.
A
luxurious $250 000 beach house in Durban, South Africa
is also on the prize list, and players can try for this
an online qualifier on May 9th for players who have at
least 1 200 frequent player points on Pacific Poker
tables. The points must have been accumulated within the
period from March 1st through May 5th. For players who
do not have the necessary points, there will be a $160
buy-in satellite event on May 7th, with the top three
finishers each receiving a seat to the online qualifier
two days later.
Proceeds from the Cannes Charity
Poker Event will go to Not on Our Watch, a charity
devoted to helping children in the Darfur region of
Africa, and One Voice for Freedom, a charity dedicated
to abolishing modern slavery around the world.
Full details of the tournaments and qualifiers are
available on the Pacific Poker site.
