Cory Lidle Celebrity Poker

Phillies pitcher Cory Lidle held his second annual celebrity poker tournament in Vegas, last week.
The $1200 buy-in event drew 104 players, and rasied $62,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
In addition to Lidle, Eric Chavez, Jeremy Giambi, Scott Erickson, Lisa Guerrero, Jimmy Rollins and Mike Lieberthal all played. Jason Giambi paid for his seat in advanced but showed up so late he was blinded out.
David Wells also played and was the chip leader at one point.
But his luck didn't last, he was knocked out by two-time Cy Young winner, Bret Saberhagen.
Paul Felberg won the tournament after about eight hours of play, talking home $31,145.
