Stars Show Up for Poker Charity Event

The opening weekend of Michael Kelly's Ivy Hotel in San Diego hosted a poker tournament where Hollywood stars showed up to have a little fun, play a little poker, and raise a lot of money for a charitable cause. The Make the Difference Network was the beneficiary as poker pros like Phil Laak, Gus Hansen, Chip Reese, Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Antonio Esfandiari, and Johnny Chan showed up to play, as did stars like Jessica Biel and Michael Kelly. A seat to the World Poker Tour Doyle Brunson Invitational was offered as a prize, and while Doyle Brunson ironically won the seat, he gave it to the second place finisher.
