In the United States, the Stars Call for Action (SFCA) championship organized by the PokerStars company in conjunction with several film and TV stars is taking place.

At the moment there is information that $1 million will be donated directly to charity, while about $500,000 will be sent to CARE International, the humanitarian assistance fund was the institution that PokerStars chose carefully.

Big names are taking part in the event, while PokerStars randomly invites fans to participate in the competition. The names of the famous participants are: Hank Azaria, Eric Bogosian, Brian Koppelman, Ed Norton, David Schwimmer, Amy Schumer, Michael Cera and Hank Azaria.

Azira even stated that “PokerStars was generous enough to offer this tremendous million dollar deal. It filled us with energy to find many celebrities to fill the group, but we are getting a great response”.

Andy Bellin said: "If there was a time to create an online charity poker tournament, it is now."

Finally, Andy said: “We started asking several friends if they would, and it seemed like everyone was on the same page. I doubt that we received a "no" from anyone”.
