This weekend, a celebrity poker tournament will take place for a good cause. At 5 p.m. PT on Saturday, June 12, the 9th Annual Ed Asner & Friends Poker Tournament will raise much-needed funds for special needs families.
“I learned to play poker with my brothers,” Ed Asner told PokerNews. “They were such great players, and I wanted to be like them so it was just something I naturally wanted to do. They both had poker in their blood.”
The event, which will take place on the all-new Poker 501 platform complete with live video, will benefit the Ed Asner Family Center, which is an all-encompassing resource for special needs families, creating an oasis of thought, interaction, acceptance, and education.
