This year will see Dave ‘Devilfish‘ Ulliott, Dave Colclough (pictured left), Marc Goodwin, and John Tabatabai among the poker bounties raising funds for the children’s charity which helps over 1,000 children and their families living with HIV/AIDS in Africa as well as peace initiatives in the Middle East.
Tickets for the event cost £365 including tournament entry, food and drink throughout the night and luxury goody bags.
