Comedian Kevin Hart to play in PokerStars Championship

Renowned comedian and actor Kevin Hart is splashing the cash and putting his poker skills to the test in the PokerStars Championship Super High Roller at the inaugural PokerStars Championship Bahamas. The world-famous funny man, who will appear in the hotly anticipated remake of Jumanji later this year, is playing with the poker sharks in the Super High Roller, a big money tournament that costs $100,000 to play.

PokerStars Championship Bahamas, which runs from today until January 14 at the sun-drenched Atlantis at Paradise Island Resort and Casino in Nassau, is the first event of the all new PokerStars Championship tour. Poker players from around the world have been qualifying for as little as $10 at PokerStars.com. The event has an action-packed schedule of 92 tournaments, cash games, and non-poker activities, and attracts thousands of international players who will dust off the holiday cobwebs to play in the nine-day Bahamas poker extravaganza.
