WSOP stars cut loose in Vegas

By Robin Leach

At first count well over $500,000 was raised for Don Cheadle's "Ante Up for Africa" celebrity poker tournament to aid the refugees of the Darfur region of the Sudan. Later today we'll know the final exact amount. Meantime, enjoy the photos of all the celebrities at play.

The morning started off calm enough with Australia's cricket superstar Shane Warne and boxing legend Jeff Fenech posing for me in front of the infamous Las Vegas Sign.

Then the day got sizzling hot and a group of celebrities headed the charge at the World Series of Poker in raising well over half a million dollars in the 2008 Ante Up For Africa No Limit Poker Tournament.

Shane Warne made his way to the tables along with Shannon Elizabeth, Jennifer Tilly, Matt Damon and his wife Luciana, Ben Affleck, Ray Romano, Adam Sandler, Abi Titmuss, Charles Barkley, Phil Hellmuth and many more.
