Currently underway in the back room, making it rather difficult to get to and from the press room, is the charity tournament. The press don't mind, though, as it's all for a good cause.

140 runners have each coughed up the €1,000 buy in, plus a €200 'registration fee' that will go directly to help the victims of the recent earthquake in central Italy via the Poker For Life charity. In addition, PokerStars is donating an extra €300 for every player, meaning that they've raised a very impressive €70,000 for the cause.

Among the field are such luminaries as Julian Thew, Peter Eastgate, Annette Obrestad, and Chad Brown, all of whom are doing their bit while they compete for a part of the €140,000 prize pool.
