Poker continues to make a difference after the PokerStars Spring Championship of Poker, and partypoker Powerfest High Rollers agree to donate considerable sums to charity.

Playing poker is great fun, but add a deep, meaningful purpose into the equation, and it becomes divine.

There was a time when the likes of Doyle Brunson would turn up for a game of poker with a pistol hidden from view just in case there was any trouble. These days, the game earns more money for charity than any other game on the planet and is right up there with the top sports in the world.

On Tuesday 16 May at 7 pm (GMT), partypoker will host their largest-ever online buy-in event. The online poker room added a $25,500 buy-in Powerfest High Roller after receiving feedback from the players, and today, they promised to donate all the registration fees to a charity of the winner’s choosing.
