GO TO CANNES AND PLAY POKER WITH THE STARS - Posted by KatA 

Ever wish you were that guy at the table full of celebrities, going head to head at one of those ridiculously swanky invite only tournaments? Well 888.com poker could make that dream a reality. As the official gaming partner of the Cannes Charity Poker Event, 888.com has secured a spot at the tournament’s final table for one lucky player. The tournament is being held in support of Matt Damon’s charity “One Voice For Freedom” which fights against childhood slavery and Ben Affleck’s charity “Not on our watch” which aids children in the war torn Darfur region. Both stars and many of their Hollywood pals will be in attendance. An extremely exclusive tournament, the final round is expected to be full of top A-list celebrities and some of the richest benefactors from around the world. To play for your place in Cannes, you’ll need to accumulate 1200 points on 888.com before May 6th to automatically be entered into their qualifying freeroll tournament on May 9th. However, if you don’t manage to stock up on points in time, there will also be a last minute opportunity to qualify for the freeroll at a £150 buy-in on May 7th. The top finisher at the May 9th Freeroll tournament will win a trip to the Cannes Film Festival on May 19th to play in the poker tournament and also have the chance to win a $250,000 beach house in Durban, South Africa. In addition, the lucky winner and their guest will receive three nights accommodation at a five-star hotel in Cannes, dinner at the famous Palme d’Or restaurant.
