You've likely already read about PokerStars Ocean's Thirteen Darfur Charity tournaments. The events have already gotten started and it's going to mean a very big time for four PokerStars players.

Last weekend, those players won trips to Europe for an “Ocean’s Thirteen” Charity event there. On May 24, PokerStars players JaspudUF, SM4RTASS, herbert, berchem13 will all be on the red carpet in Cannes with the likes of George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Don Cheadle.



The players won their trips in charity tournaments to benefit the suffering in Darfur. All of the buy-ins and rebuys in that event were matched by PokerStars and added to PokerStars' $1 million donation to the Darfur cause.

While the Cannes trips have already been claimed, there is still a chance for you to hobnob with the stars of Ocean's Thirteen at the American premiere in Los Angeles. We'll have more on that in the coming days. For a preview, you can check in on the Ocean's Thirteen Darfur Charity tournaments page on PokerStars.com
