MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - A South Carolina priest has won at least $25,000 on a new poker game show airing this weekend.

The Rev. Andrew Trapp says he'll donate the money he wins on the show to his church's building fund. He's an assistant pastor at St. Michael Catholic Church.

The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reports that Trapp earned a spot on the show by finishing in the top 10 in an online poker tournament that began with 10,000 contestants. Show executives also liked his YouTube video audition.

Trapp has a chance to win up to $1 million in the show's December finale. The show this weekend airs Sunday.
