"Sucking Out on the Rivers" Charity Poker Tournament

Fresh from her runner-up placing on Celebrity Apprentice, Annie Duke announced yesterday that she is hosting this charity event along with twenty Joan Rivers Impersonators.

This filled fun poker event will benefit her chosen charity from Celebrity Apprentice, Refugees International.

Many of you who watched Celebrity Apprentice witnessed Rivers calling all poker players "beyond white trash" and referring to Duke as a Nazi with Hitler-like qualities. World Series of Poker Commissioner, Jeffrey Pollack said in later news conference We would love to see a woman win the main event ... unless that woman happens to be Joan Rivers.

Everyone is welcome to attend the $200 buy-in tournament on May 27th, at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Poker Lounge in Las Vegas, Nevada. The charity tournament will be co-hosted by Frank Marino, one of the most well-known Joan Rivers impersonators in the world. Each of the impersonators will have a knockout bounty on their head.
