Mayweather - playing poker tonight

Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr is one of the celebrities taking part in Chris Webber's poker tournament in Las Vegas tonight.

Floyd Mayweather, the man who ended Ricky Hatton's welterweight title dream in December 2007, will be playing in a Las Vegas poker tournament tonight.

The boxing champion will be taking part in ex NBA star Chris Webber's card game event in Sin City's Planet Hollywood, reports Card Player.

Money raised during the evening will go towards the Chris Webber Foundation, which benefits a number of good causes.

Other famous faces scheduled to make an appearance at tonight's event include Detroit Hamiliton and the USA Olympic basketball side.

No-river hold'em is the game that will be played, which means contestants will only be betting on the flop and turn, after their three cards have been dealt.

Chris Webber's poker tournament follows other similar celebrity gatherings in Las Vegas in recent months.

Poker professional and World Series of Poker main event player Phil Ivey raised money for Las Vegas kids with a special tournament at the Golden Nugget on July 1st.
