How about beating two? Jamie Gold and Peter Eastgate are hosting a charity poker tournament at The Casino at The Empire, Leicester Square Thursday, August 13th.
Do you think your poker game is up to scratch? If you do, and you fancy pitting your skills against WSOP world champions Jamie Gold (2006 World Champion) and Peter Eastgate (2008 World Champion), register your interest here and head to the Casino at the Empire on Thursday 13th of August at 7:30 to put your money where your mouth is.

Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, The Montel Williams MS Foundation, Sunflower Children, Covenant House, The Fallen Heroes Fund, The Fulfillment Fund and The Abolish Slavery Coalition.
