Charles Barkley at the Up For Africa charity poker tournament at the 2007 WSOPFormer NBA player Charles Barkley is $440,000 lighter after repaying his Wynn Las Vegas marker (including attorney fees). And after promising not to gamble for the next couple years, he'll be back in Vegas soon to play poker.
But this time it's for charity.
The annual celebrity poker tournament "Ante Up for Africa" takes place July 2 at Rio amidst the World Series of Poker. Half a player's winnings on a $5,000 buy-in is requested to be donated to the cause that will help Darfur.
Barkley plans to play, and if he cashes, he will give all his winnings to the charity.
