Save Animals by Playing Poker Online

She’s done it before, and she will do it again, but this is the first time she will do it online. Pro poker player Jen Harman loves animals and loves to help them, and as such she makes the perfect host for an online charity poker event that will go to benefit the Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) no-kill animal shelter. The event, which will run on March 16th, will cost $5 plus $5 to play, and there will be plenty of celebrity Animal Lovers on board during the game.
