Charles Barkley, stops gambling… for 2 days…
June 24, 2008
Charles Barkley, NBA legend, is back on the Poker tables on July 2nd for a Celebrity Poker Tournament, 2 days after pledging to stop gambling. At least this is for charity, and all his winnings will be donated to a good cause.
The tournament will have a big showing of celebs on show, playing in the Ante Up for Africa, hosted at the Rio Casino in Vegas, the day before the World Series of Poker Main Event starts.
Barkley has had the Wynn Las Vegas chasing him down for $400,000.00 in casino debts, as well as DA fees of $40,000.00. In a recent interview, Barkley revealed he has lost around $10,000,000.00 through gambling.
Lets hope all his experience helps raise money for a good cause.
