Montel Williams to Host Charity Poker

New York City will be the site of the Montel Williams MS Foundation Gala & Pro-Celebrity Poker Challenge, yet another charity poker event for the new year. This is the first such event for Montel Williams, a celebrity talk show host who showed his poker chops by attaining chip leader status for a day during the 2007 World Series of Poker main event championship. The event will be held on Thursday, March 13, 2008 and will begin with cocktails at six, followed by a dinner and a party with poker and "surprise entertainment."
