The tournament will benefit Feeding America and has so far raised $1.2 million, according to a Deadline report that describes the charity as the largest hunger-relief organization in the United States, providing 40 million meals a year.
The tournament will be live-streamed on Twitch, where fans will have the chance to interact with players and donate to the cause.
The game is Texas Hold ‘em, and virtual cards are in the air at 2 p.m. ET.
