Don Cheadle and Annie Duke Discuss the Charity

Ante Up For Africa co-founders Don Cheadle and Annie Duke welcome everyone to the charity tournament. This event was first held in 2007, and since then, more than $4 million has been raised for Ante Up For Africa and its designated charities. According to Nevada law, no money can be withheld from the prizepool for charity -- all donations must be made by the players on their own, after cashing in the tournament. Last year, about 54% of the total prizepool was donated. (The requested donation is half of any money won in the event.)

An Anti-Climactic Finish, But a Finish

Most WSOP final tables end with a bang, as players are all in and waiting for the final card. As soon as it hits, everyone knows who won and who lost. But in Event #51 ($3,000 Triple-Chance No-Limit Hold'em), the final hand played out differently. Jon Eaton and Ryan Welch checked to the turn on a board of 9c-7s-6c-10d. Eaton bet, and Welch called. The river was the Kd, and Eaton bet again. But this time, Welch moved all in. Eaton tanked for a long time, knowing that the tournament was on the line -- there chip stacks were nearly even at the start of the hand. Eaton eventually called, and Welch quickly turned over the nuts -- Q-J for a king-high straight. Eaton tossed his cards into the muck, and it appears that Eaton had an 8 for a ten-high straight on the turn. It took a while for the stacks to be counted down, but Welch had slightly more chips and was declared the winner.
