PokerRoad's Thuy Doan, who was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, got a glimpse of how much she means to the poker community this week, when many top poker pros, friends and media, got together and shaved their heads to show her she isn't alone in this fight.

"What an amazing night. I smiled so much I almost wanted to cry."  -Thuy Doan

The above quote, taken from Thuy's Twitter account (@RealThuyDoan), shows the pros efforts and locks were not shed in vain and if the video- which can be found in the PokerRoad Road Clips section- is any indication, everyone was happy they took part.

Some of the pros that visited Phil Ivey's suite to lighten their head's load included Eli Elezra, Doyle Brunson, Tom "durrrr" Dwan, Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier, Barry Greenstein- who seems to be getting most of the credit (and blame) for the bright idea- and about 12 to 14 others.

To find out more about this great event check out the most recent Road Clips, or read Thuy's blog, where she recounts the event in her own (obviously touched) words.
