Poker playing celebrities such as Jamie Oliver, Dexter Fletcher and Teddy Sheringham joined forces with some of the UK's top players, including WSOPE runner-up John Tabatabai, Women's World Open Champion Beverley Pace and Irish Open final tablist Tim Blake, to raise over £200,000 for the One to One Children's Fund, which helps children in the United Kingdom, Middle East, Africa, Kosovo and India and Indonesia.

Returning once again to London's glamorous Sketch restaurant for a night of poker and backgammon, the annual event raised over £200,000 for children in need. The £365 entry fee (which represents the cost of sponsoring one child for a year at £1 per day) included a champagne reception plus the buy-in to either the PKR.com sponsored poker tournament or the Omar Sharif Backgammon Tournament.

Non-playing spectators were also invited to attend and enjoy the champagne reception and auction.
