888 Pacific Poker Hosting Celebrity Charity Challenge

Players who enjoy playing poker against famous celebrities or the possibility of winning a large prize are sure to enjoy the 888 Celebrity Charity Challenge which will begin this May. The Challenge will pit online poker players against celebrities such as Matt Damon and Ben Affleck for a chance to win a $250,000 luxury villa in South Africa. Not to mention the Challenge is for Charity so the money raised will go to worthy causes.

There are two ways to earn a seat to the 888 Celebrity Charity Challenge. The first way is to buy-in the Celebrity Charity Challenge Satellite for $150 plus $10. You will then participate in an online satellite on May 7th and the top three players will earn a seat to the Celebrity Charity Challenge Freeroll on May 9th.

Or you can choose to enter the Celebrity Charity Challenge Free roll directly. To enter the Free roll you must earn 1,200 Frequent Player Points from March 11th to May 6th. The Free roll will take place on May 9th and the buy-in is free. The winner of the Free roll will get a seat at the 888 Celebrity Charity Challenge that will take place on May 19th.

The Challenge will be played at the Villa Oxygene in Cannes where the lucky winner will play against celebrities for the chance to win a $250,000 villa in Durban, South Africa. The winner of the seat will get the $1,000 for the buy-in, three nights’ accommodations for two and all flights and transfers paid.

This is a great opportunity to do something good for charity and have fun while doing it. The two charities benefiting from the Challenge are: Not on Our Watch- which aids civilians in war torn countries and One Voice for Freedom which helps put an end to slavery.
