UK Poker Benefits Hospital
The charity poker party held at the Loose Cannon Club in London was a big success last week, pulling in local celebrities such as Lisa Loud and attended by the players that had just competed in the National Poker League’s UK Open. The party thanked fifteen sponsors, such as AEG Live and Destination Marrakech, all of which contributed to the sponsored charity for the event, the Great Ormond Street Hospital. Those in attendance also had a chance to bid on prizes at an auction, including a five star trip to Marrakech and tickets to see Prince in concert.
