Charity Poker Tournaments for Katrina Victims

I haven't been playing poker this week, as it seems frivolous to throw my money into games when there are people who could really use that money. A lot of poker players feel the same, and due to the efforts of Wil Wheaton and some other good poker people, there are a bunch of online charity poker tournaments, starting tonight and going for the next few weeks, to help Hurrican Katrina victims.

The details, via Pauly:

Where: Full Tilt Poker
