On Saturday, April 25, a tremendous earthquake of 7.8 on the Richter scale struck Nepal, bringing devastation to a large part of the country and causing nearly 10,000 deaths.
As the world mobilizes to help the people of Nepal and to bring humanitarian aid to the area affected by the earthquake, PokerStars and Full Tilt decided to ask the poker community to do its part and participate to a new charitable initiative presented on April 28 on the PokerStars Blog.
"The people of Nepal are in trouble and we want your help," the Head of Corporate Giving for PokerStars and Full Tilt Sue Hammett wrote.
