Now this is the kind of story I like to read about . WSOP event #14 winner Eric Brooks is donating his $415,856 in 7 card stud winnings to charity.

Two thumbs up to Eric Brooks !

You can read the rest of the story at the poker.com homepage at http://www.poker.com/news/More_bracelets_won.html

I think this is becoming a bit more common now and damn good news too.

For example, Tony G is reknown for donating 50% of all of his tournie winnings in this way - it just shows how much these guys must make from the Poker scene (mostly playing high stake cash games in Russia methinks!).

So true Maron . And I really feel that it's all due to Barry Greenstein setting the example for all the pros to follow.
