Ocean's Thirteen - dobrodelni turnir

PokerStars is giving you the chance to win tickets to the US premiere of this summer's Hollywood blockbuster "Ocean's Thirteen" in Los Angeles!

The film's main cast, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Don Cheadle, as well as producer Jerry Weintraub, have launched "Not On Our Watch" (NOOW) , a charity which aims to focus international aid and attention to the plight of the residents of Darfur, Sudan.

PokerStars.com has the distinct privilege to be a part of this fantastic project and we're going to get things going with a $1 million donation to the charity.

But it's not enough. We need your help to make an even bigger difference. You can help us and, most importantly, the people of Darfur by taking part in the special charity tournaments we are hosting. As a thank you from PokerStars, we'll be throwing in some fabulous prizes along the way too. See below for details:
