"For the past few years working in the poker industry, I've gotten to cover lots of stories about incredible players giving back to the community by donating their time and effort," explained Arnett. "I'm really excited for the opportunity to do the same, and I am looking forward to helping these organizations to give back."
Additionally, live music will be provided by DJ Lady Splash and Havoc, there will be a live Brazilian capoeira show, and a special performance by Gibi Dos Santos.
