DESCRIPTION:
(from BET's web site, September 2008) What do you get when you put together Black celebrities and Poker Pro David Williams for a weekend in Las Vegas? A star-studded cast and a lot of laughs with BET’s hit new show, Black Poker Stars Invitational, premiering March 18th at 10:30 p.m. (ET/PT). Join the biggest names in Black Entertainment as they show you how they ball in Vegas and act a fool -- while keeping a poker face in a no-limit $50,000-for-charity prize Texas Hold ‘Em poker tournament. The show is hosted by Kenny Burns, the “Black Robin Leach” himself, and co-hosted by Hell Date’s Kiya Roberts. From the private jets to the luxury suites, the Black Poker Stars Invitational will show you the reality of what these stars are like during their off-time, and what it’s really like to live large and party like a rock star—all in the name of charity! You can decide which of your favorite stars is truly “the hustler,” “the bluffer,” the “biggest trash-talker,” the “worst loser,” and the “Poker Champ!”
