UltimateBet announced today that they will be hosting a charity poker tournament this Saturday at 7:30 ET on their website. All funds raised during the No Limit Hold’em tournament will be donated to Ante Up For Africa and one of their main supporters, Annie Duke, will be playing in the tournament.

Ante Up For Africa is an organization that is fighting the crisis in Darfur. The group raises funds and awareness on what is going on in Darfur. Annie Duke commented on the tournament: "There's no better time than the holidays to do something good. UltimateBet is once again inviting players to make a big difference through a charity poker tournament that's incredibly rewarding on so many levels and I'm honored to be a part of it."

The tournament has a $2 buy-in and 100% of that money goes to the charity. So players will not be playing for money. What they will be playing for is electronics and poker gear donated by UltimateBet. Players can win a XBOX 360 Elite system, a Sony Handy cam Camcorder, a Nintendo DS, an iPod touch, a Sony 8” Portable DVD Player, a Bluetooth laser virtual keyboard and much more.

This is a great chance for poker players to support a good cause and possible win great prizes, which could be given as gifts to friends or family or to be enjoyed by you.
