Charity poker tales from Party, Stars & Hall v Dentale grudge match

Charity is the order of the day as the Cate Hall vs. Mike Dentale Heads Up Grudge Match fails to stir up charitable interest, Devilfish Cup raises close to £100k for charity and other beneficial causes, and PokerStars Neymar Jr helps raise over €52,000 for Right to Play and the Neymar Jr Institute.

Cate Hall managed to keep her pride and integrity intact after beating Mike Dentale 2-0 in the highly anticipated ‘Heads-Up Grudge Match’ on Sunday night.

The team at Poker Night in America (PNIA), along with stand-in commentators Doug Polk and Shaun Deeb, did a fantastic job on a night where Hall had to win, and Dentale did not.

I don’t think it was a match that Hall should have gotten in. Win or lose, Dentale was always going to leave the event in better shape than he went into it from a personal brand perspective, but it could have been a total, and utter disaster had Hall lost.
