Glitz and Glamour at Jeff Gordon Foundation Poker Classic

The simple fact is that you were never going to be able to buy your way onto the red carpet for Oscar night. However, if you�ve got a spare $1,000 floating around, you can shmooze your way along the press line and onto the green felt at this year�s Jeff Gordon Foundation Poker Classic at Caesars Palace, starting tomorrow.

Hosted by four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon, the event is aimed at helping disadvantaged families across the United States. As well as a smattering of pro poker players, including Chris �Jesus� Ferguson and Robert Williamson III, there will be a slew of celebrities including NASCAR star Tony Stewart, former NFL star George Rogers and actors Eddie Mekka and Jason Hervey. The $1,000 buy-in will not only earn you the chance to win a load of cash but also the opportunity for a seat on the World Series of Poker 2006 worth $10,000. But even if you miss out on the top prizes, there�s still the chance to humiliate some celebrities and get yourself in the tabloids as well.
