Host Hank Azaria said: "I'm
excited to be back for another game and more entertainment for
everyone to enjoy while we raise more funds for charity. Connecting
with these guys for good has been a blast. You just never know
what's going to happen, and I don't even mean just with the
poker."
Kent Seton, CEO and Chairman of
Edward Charles Foundation (a 501c3 public charity umbrella of over
100 charitable initiatives), said: "The Edward Charles Foundation
team is beyond excited to be working with the world class platform,
PokerStars.net who have stepped up to do good and change the world
and the Edward Charles Foundation team is specifically excited to
be working with the Hank's Home Game initiative which will help
raise charitable funds and change countless lives."

compete with Hank for worthy causes. Michael Cera took the top spot and $20,000 donation to his charity of choice, First
Responders First who support the health and safety needs of
public healthcare workers.
