Annie Duke at “Sucking Out On The Rivers” Charity Poker Tournament
UltimateBet.net’s own Annie Duke hosted the Sucking Out on the Rivers charity poker tournament event with Frank Marino, a well-known Joan Rivers impersonator, and many top poker pros in Las Vegas (Pictured above: Jeffrey Pollack, Annie Duke and Frank Marino).
Jeffrey Pollack, the Vice President of Sports and Entertainment Marketing at Harrah’s Casino and Commissioner of the World Series of Poker, was also on hand.

While the charity poker tournament was co-hosted by a Frank Marino, a Joan Rivers impersonator, the real Joan Rivers went head-to-head with Annie Duke on the most recent season of Celebrity Apprentice. The often abrasive and brash comedienne told Annie, on camera, that all poker players were white trash and that none of them had last names, suggesting that those who love poker are automatically linked to organized crime.
Rivers’ opinion has drawn the ire of virtually everyone in the poker world, which is made up of doctors, lawyers, accountants, astrophysicists and other professionals. The world’s top poker players and several Hollywood celebrities showed up to play in the charity poker event to show that there’s a lot of good that comes from poker.
The Sucking out on the Rivers Charity Event was sponsored by UltimateBet.net, DeepStacks University, Hard Rock Poker Lounge, and WSOP Academy and took place at the Hard Rock Casino Poker Lounge.
