PokerStars has announced today that they are going to open a live poker room in Macau tomorrow. The poker room has been named PokerStars Macau and it will have a 250 person capacity.

PokerStars Macau will be located inside of the Grand Waldo Hotel and Casino in Cotai. The first official card shuffle in the poker room will be at the No-limit Texas Hold'em Charity Poker Tournament.

The charity tournament is going to raise money for earthquake relief that is desperately needed in Western China after their recent tremor.

There isn't a set buy in for the tournament but it is being recommended that players donate $2,000 HKD to enter in the tournament. Players will be competing for there share of the $150,000 in prizes, including a $25,000 buy in to the Asia Pacific Tour Event in Macau.

This tournament is going to be the first charity event in the Macau Cup and it will feature a $1,000 HKD buy in Deep Stack event and a $10,000 HKD buy in Red Dragon event that will start this weekend.

Model/TV personality Leeann Tweeden has been tapped as the new host of the popular poker television show Poker After Dark, according to WickedChopsPoker.com

Tweeden will replace season 3 host Marianela Pereyra, who stepped in after a pregnant Shana Hiatt left the show a year ago. The super sweet, Argentinian-born Pereyra was a regular fixture at last year's WSOP, where she did online video reports.

The hostess has appeared in FHM, Maxim and Stuff Magazine.

Poker After Dark came under intense scrutiny after Gambling911.com revealed via Tom Somach of PokerHelper.com that the show featured a convicted sex predator. "Iron Sheik" Sharhram Sheikhan served 9 months on charges of child molestation. Years later he was involved in a fatal car accident reportedly caused by Sheikhan's speeding Mercedes. The driver of the other vehicle that was hit by Sheikhan's vehicle perished. The US Government last year attempted to deport Sheikhan back to his native Iran.

Poker After Dark airs on NBC, which ironically features "To Catch a Predator" among its television programs. That show works to nab child molestors.

In an even more bizarre twist, Leeann Tweeden hosted "The Skateboard Show" in 2002.
