Jennifer Harman’s Second Annual Charity Poker Tournament will see action next April 18th at the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino. The tournament profits and live and silent auctions will benefit the Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The Nevada SPCA is an animal shelter in the Las Vegas area that gives accommodation, food, and general care to many animals every year. The optional donation to participate in the tournament is $300+30 but there are also $200 re-donations for additional tournament chips available though three 20 minute rounds and a $200 last chance add-on. The winner will take home a $10,000 buy in for the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event.

"Last year we raised $130,000, allowing the Nevada SPCA to expand their facility. The Venetian Poker Room is a perfect venue, and their professional staff has been very gracious. This year's event promises to be bigger and better and many of my friends will be there to support this great cause." said Harman.

The list of players invited and guests include professional poker players such as Doyle Brunson, Chris Ferguson, Todd Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Johnny Chan, Erick Lindgren, Howard Lederer, Daniel Negreanu, Jerry Yang, Marco Traniello, Freddy Deeb, Jamie Gold, Hoyt Corkins, Amarillo "Slim" Preston, TJ Cloutier, , Barry and Allyn Shulman, Gavin Smith, Lacey Jones, Roy "The Oracle" Winston, Kristy Gazes, Antonio Esfandiari, Joe Hachem, Carmel Petresco, Daniel Alaei , Barry Greenstein as well as a series of celebrities and stars including World Champion snowboarder Jeff Brushie, Las Vegas comedian Carrot Top and NFL quarterback Shaun King, Burton.
