Poker: The Game That Loves To Give

Earlier this month the charity Poker for The Homeless raised a fabulous €14,755 through its annual fundraising poker event at the The Jackpot Club, Dublin. These live poker tournaments raise funds for the Capuchin Day Centre in Dublin which feeds the homeless and the poor. This year, Nicky Power came first place yet again, making him the first double champion of Poker For The Homeless. His winnings totaled €1300.
