Poker Community Reacts to Devastating Earthquake in Japan
The poker community is asking everyone to donate to efforts assisting those affected by the devastating 8.9 earthquake that struck Japan Friday. It is the worst earthquake to strike that nation ever and 5th worst earthquake on record.
“Text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 #Japan,” urged Shannon Elizabeth, the noted celebrity and poker pro.
