A unique event that took place over the weekend saw poker's champions take on football and baseball legends. Instead of taking place on the diamond or the gridiron, however, poker's finest squared off against Roger Clemens, Dan Marino, and John Elway on turf somewhat more familiar to card players, in the form of green felt. The 2006 Legends Celebrity Invitational Poker Tournament hosted by the legendary sports trio took place at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
No less than 16 tables were filled by the likes of Marino, Elway, and Clemens, along with poker's biggest names - Doyle and Todd Brunson, Phil Ivey, Eric Lindgren, Jennifer Harman, Barry Greenstein, Johnny Chan, and Chris Moneymaker, among others. The No-Limit Texas Hold 'em poker tournament featured a $2,500 buy-in and was quite exclusive, with the VIPs arriving to throngs of fans and media lined along red carpets. While the event's winner was not one of the big-name sports or poker pros, the participants did succeed in raising almost $25,000 for charity.
