Boxers Play Poker for Charity

Professional boxers Johnny Nelson and Ryan Rhodes will be joined by Soap Star Chris Walker to play poker against each other as well as poker fans for a good cause. The Ultimate Charity Vegas Experience will take place at the Doncaster Racecourse on Saturday October 11th to raise money for local charities.

The event costs only £35 to play in the poker tournament or £15 can be paid for a special poker academy where fans can learn how to play the game. Poker fans will also be able to earn bounty prizes for knocking out the celebrities. Players can also win £10,000 for a Royal Flush on the top table and another £10,000 in a seven role dice game, subject to terms and conditions.

Signed sports memorabilia and tickets to Johnny Nelson’s Testimonial dinner at Bramall Lane are also up for grabs. So not only will fans be able to play against their favorite celebrities but also win prizes for eliminating them from the tournament, plus the added bonus of donating to a good cause.

The winner of the tournament will be able to choose a charity to donate to and the rest of the donations will be divided among local charities in the area. It will be interesting to see if Nelson and Rhodes can play each other well in a match that is not set up in a boxing ring.
