Play Poker with Phillies Players

What:      Cory Lidle Celebrity Poker Tournament
Where:   Palms Casino, Las Vegas
When:    This weekend
Buy In:    $1200

Yes, that’s right.  This weekend is Cory Lidle’s Second Annual Celebrity Poker Tournament with the proceeds benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  Players who’ve already anted up include:  Jermaine Dye, Jason Giambi, David Wells, Eric Chavez, Adam Dunn, Bret Saberhagen and Phillies Mike Lieberthal, Jimmy Rollins, and Randy Wolf.  The inaugural tournament was a huge success and this one should be too.  I wonder if Pat Gillick is participating.  For a guy who can’t turn up aces, I don’t think he’d have a shot at winning.
