Stars Turn Out For One To one PKR Charity Tournament - 14th July 2008

Poker-playing celebrities such as Jamie Oliver, Dexter Fletcher and Teddy Sheringham joined forces with some of the UK’s top poker pros, including WSOPE runner-up John Tabatabai, to raise over £200,000 for the One to One Children’s Fund, which helps children in the UK, Middle East, Africa, Kosovo, India and Indonesia.

Returning once again to London’s glamorous Sketch restaurant for a night of poker and backgammon, the annual event raised over £200,000 for children in need. The £365 entry fee (which represents the cost of sponsoring one child for a year at £1 per day) included a champagne reception plus the buy-in to either the PKR.com-sponsored poker tournament or the Omar Sharif Backgammon Tournament. After hours of solid play, the tournament was won by Leticia White, daughter of another famous chef - Marco Pierre White.
