Now, I know why stars go bankrupt. It seems like practically every night, there’s another charity event.
Last night, it was Ante Up for Africa, a celebrity poker tournament. Don Cheadle, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, George Lopez, Charles Barkley, and Adam Sandler were among the stars who chucked their chips in the pot to help people in Darfur.
It’s a great cause, of course. Over 2.5 million people have become refugees since 2003. It’s an awesome thing to do, but it costs $5,000 to enter. The pool started at over $418,000.
Jason Alexander started with a winning streak.
"All the tournaments I've ever won have been for charity," he said. "When there's no actual money for me, I'm very good."
