Poker Mom

Eva Longoria Parker, Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, Phil Hellmuth, Amaury Nolasco, Sean Elliott, Leeann Tweeden and other celebrities will be in attendance at the first annual Tony & Eva Parker Celebrity Casino Night.  The event will benefit the Eva’s Heroes foundation which works with individuals with developmental challenges.

The event will be held at Pedrotti’s North Wind Ranch in San Antonio, Texas.  Dinner will be served at 6:00pm with the poker tournament starting at 6:30pm.  Although the event is sold out, tickets to enter the poker tournament were only $300 per person.

In addition to the celebrities that planned to attend this event, the charity night is being sponsored by ultimatebet.com, H.E.B., the San Antonio Spurs and several other corporate sponsors.  This isn’t just your typical charity poker tournament though.  The winner of the event will receive a seat in the 2009 World Series of Poker.  It doesn’t say if this is a seat in the $10,000 buy-in Main Event but regardless, the winner is likely there for the altruistic factor and not to gain entry to the WSOP.

Good luck to all!
