Last week I had the pleasure of attending a charity poker tournament hosted by Dan and Beth Shak. The “All in” for Kids Poker Tournament was to raise money for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Participants included poker legends Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke along with celebrity chef Bobby Flay and ex-pro athletes Ricky Bottalico and Mike Quick.
The 120 players donated $5,000 each to enter the event along with $500 rebuys and a double add-on after the first 90 minutes. Throw in a silent auction and money-raising prop bets at the table and the players raised over $825,000 for the hospital’s Center for Palliative Medicine.
More details after the jump including video interviews with Beth Shak, Phil Ivey, and Phil Hellmuth discussing Peter Eastgate taking his record for youngest WSoP Main Event Winner.

Beth Shak will host “All in” for Kids Poker Tournament
During my time in Vegas during the 2008 World Series of Poker I spent some time like everyone else walking through the Expo center to see what kind of exhibits and swag were around. Sitting in the middle of gargantuan energy drink spokes-models and every poker publication in existence was a small booth handing out mints and information cards about a charity poker game called “All in” for Kids Tournament. Upon closer inspection I found that the tournament was being run to benefit Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Being from the Philadelphia area I’ve had more than my fare share of experience with this great hospital.
The tournament is being hosted by Dan and Beth Shak. Scheduled to play are Phil Ivey and Annie Duke as well as other professional athletes and celebrities.
More information after the jump.

Heads Up: Gus Hansen Versus Beth Shak
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
Another week means another round of the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge is set to commence. Sure, the National Heads-Up Championship just took place and “March Madness” is about to tip off today (my money is on Boise State – go Broncos!), but I still say that we’re the best and most exciting single elimination tourney around. Today’s bout is the last of our two versus 15 matchups, with Gus “The Wilt Chamberlain of Poker” Hansen taking on Beth “I can do a lot of things with poker chips (wink, wink)” Shak. Check out the full bracket below, on to the showdown:
