Following his very public grudge with one of the leading casino owners in America, and the repayment of monies owed with the settlement of a fine to the poker authorities, Charles Barkley is back losing at the tables again. Everybody had thought that the self proclaimed voice of the people would never play again in public when he gambled away $400,000 so why on earth is he doing it all again?

Well gratefully for the casino owners and Charles he is only back to play in a one off celebrity poker event called Ante Up for Africa. The match has been going for quite a few years and will always raise literally hundreds of thousands of pounds for amazing charities in Africa. Last year alone it was found that $700,000 was donated and this year hopes to top it.

Barkley was one of many celebs and with him were Jason Kidd, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck all trying to gamble for charity but it was all about the charities and not the poker for some. So has the infamous ‘mouth’ gone against his promise to give up gambling? Well im saying not, because Charles Barkley agreed to donate all that he wins to the charities.
