HOW many events would get SLASH

HOW many events would get SLASH, KELLY ROWLAND and BORIS BECKER to compete as equals?

In his fifth and final poker blog from the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, Sun poker player, Dominic Wells, is a fly on the wall at the amfAR celebrity charity tournament.

WE knew poker had become the hottest game in Hollywood, but this is ridiculous!

Sitting round a single table on Paradise Island in the Bahamas are:


Slash! The greatest guitarist of all time! The hellraiser who once "died" before a show, got resurrected in hospital, and still made it to the gig on time!

Slash! Just sittin', chillin', playin' cards!

Until, hilariously, he gets knocked out early by little Kelly Rowland, who refuses to bow to the hairy rock god's bluff.

This is the amfAR charity tournament, organised by PokerStars to raise money for AIDS research, and there are so many celebs they don't all fit on one table.

The other three tables include world-famous poker pros Greg "Fossilman" Raymer and Daniel Negreanu, footballer Teddy Sheringham, and Playmate Jayde Nicole.

Boris Becker and Nelly, two of the best players, lock horns.

Nelly makes his straight on the river. Becker is furious: in the Main Event, he lost half his stack with a straight... to a larger straight.

Then Boris picks on an easier target: Joanna Krupa.

She previously had a major blonde moment against Nelly, triumphantly showing a hand she thought would win the huge pot... before realising she'd read her cards wrong!

Boris knocks out the Polish-born beauty with two pairs.

Nelly boos loudly: he'd been enjoying the view across the table.

Soon after, Kelly Rowland takes a "bad beat" from Carlos Bernard when her pocket Kings are cracked by King-nine. Ouch! And after that, the table's really not the same.

At least Jayde Nicole scores one for the babes when, incredibly, she knocks out poker ace Daniel Negreanu.

And that's poker. A game of skill and determination, but also a hefty dollop of luck.

Where even the best starting hand is only a 5 to 1 favourite, and anyone can take on the champions and have some hope of winning.
