Hosted by actor Hank Azaria, poker lovers and celebrity fans are invited to 
watch the action from the comfort of their own home. The first star-studded 
home game is live now on the PokerStars.net YouTube channel, and features Hank 
and friends Don Cheadle, Jon Hamm, Michael Ian Black, Josh Charles and Michael 
Cera competing to win the largest slice of $50,000 for their chosen charity. No 
charity chosen is left out as the amount donated by PokerStars.net on each 
celebrity's behalf is determined by the amount of play money chips won by each 
player by the time the home game comes to an end. 

Along with Azaria, there are plenty more guests set to take a hot seat at the 
Home Games table, including Amy Schumer and Jack Black. 

Host Hank Azaria said: "Hank's Home Game is all about great company and good 
conversation. Whilst we hope our Home Game will keep everyone entertained, it 
has also been a chance to continue raising money for charity. I am delighted 
that I have been able to work with PokerStars.net on this fun series, and I 
hope people enjoy it much as we enjoyed playing."

Associate Director, Group Public Relations at PokerStars.net, Rebecca McAdam 
Willetts, said: "Providing entertainment for our community is at the heart of 
everything we do at PokerStars.net and Hank's Home Game is a great reflection 
of this. Our Home Games are a great way for people to connect and compete for 
free from home. Hank and many of his talented guests' natural passion for poker 
has made bringing them together for good causes a real pleasure. We hope it 
also provides entertainment for viewers at home."

Hank's Home Game follows on from Stars CALL for Action in May 2020 where more 
than $1 million was donated to charities as more than 90 celebrities came 
together to play poker. David Costabile took down the tournament and $100,000 
was donated to his chosen charity World Central Kitchen to supply food to those 
who need it most.
