One of the biggest charity events of the year- or at the very least one of the cutest- begins today in Las Vegas, as many top pros and celebrities alike once again ascend upon the Venetian Poker Room, to compete in the 4th Annual Jennifer Harman Charity Poker Tournament- benefitting the Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA).

This $300 + $30 buy-in open event (with $100 rebuys and a one time $100 add-on), is expected to once again attract many of poker’s biggest names including Andy Bloch, Lee Watkinson, Bryan “Devo” Devonshire, Perry Friedman and practically the whole Brunson clan, as well as countless celebrity supporters like Nancy Cartwright, Carrot Top, Jennifer Tilly, UFC fighter Roy “Big Country” Nelson and even Dennis Haskins from TV's “Saved By The Bell.”

Joining these stars on the Venetian red carpet at 4PM will also be numerous cute and fluffy companion animals, reminding everyone of the night’s important cause before they get too wrapped up in all the fun and frivolity that always seems to accompany this particular annual event.

Although this is a charity tournament, players who do well still have a chance at thousands of dollars worth of donated prizes including autographed chip sets, Curtis & Co. custom watches, tickets to numerous top Vegas shows, free entry into the 2011 WPT Celebrity Invitational and the Grand Prize, a $10,000 World Series of Poker Main Event seat.
