World poker champion and UB star Annie Duke is en route to Montreal and Ottawa, Canada this weekend for UB.net’s Cross Canada Tour. While teaching Canadians how to elevate their poker game is undoubtedly an important cause, the UB pro will be making a pit stop in New York for something even more worthy.
Duke will be playing in the The Montel Williams MS Foundation Gala and Pro-Celebrity Poker Challenge, a roaring ‘20s speakeasy-themed event featuring a cocktail reception, awards ceremony, pro-celebrity poker tournament, buffet dinner, entertainment, and dancing. She’ll join a host of other poker celebrities including Russ Hamilton, Ken Eininger, Freddie Deeb, Barbara Enright, Scott Fischman, Jamie Gold, Susie Isaacs, Karina Jett, Chip Jett, Mary Jones, Marsha Waggoner, and Robert Williamson III.
The Montel Williams MS Foundation Gala and Pro-Celebrity Poker Challenge gets underway at 5:30pm ET on March 13th in New York City at Cipriani 42nd Street.
