The game of the night will be Texas hold ’em, hosted by two professional poker commentators, Justin Kelly and Michael Loncar.
The tournament will be available to watch live on Twitch from 7pm this evening, Irish time.
100% of the money raised will go to Feeding America, the largest hunger-relief organisation in the U.S. – which provides meals to over 40 million people a year.
The charity needs donations now more than ever, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
