As you’ll see from the photos below, Don Cheadle and Annie Duke are at it again — raising money for their favorite charity, Ante Up For Africa.
The latest effort to help victims in Darfur was a no-limit Texas hold’em tournament held Oct. 29 at the San Manuel Indian & Bingo Casino in Highland, Calif. The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians pledged a guaranteed $500,000 to the charity for the event.
That brings the total of donations to Ante Up For Africa since it was launched in 2007 to more than $2.5 million — most of that given by poker payers.
The event drew plenty of poker pros and celebrities. Here are a few of them (photos by Vince Bucci/AP):
