Joan Rivers is the Latest Celebrity Apprentice
Annie Duke maintained her composure and kept a game face on during the many personal attacks from Joan Rivers. It certainly looked good for the poker world to have a class act with brains representing the millions of poker players around the world.
In the final task of fund raising the red haired Annie collected almost a half million dollars for her charity, Refugees International; while, her heads-up opponent Joan Rivers had to settle for $150K gathered for her charity, God's Love We Deliver. This simply proves what all of us already know...Poker Players are generous to a fault.
But, as is often the case in any major poker tournament the chip leader doesn't always win. Going into the final task with an almost 3 - 1 lead in charity dollars collected couldn't swing the final vote to Annie's side of the table. Congratulations to Joan Rivers for her ability to hang tough even though she is 75 years old. Gray Power rules.
Congratulations to Annie Duke for playing the game better than most and coming away with her pride intact.
