The online casino sponsored a lavish event that took place last month at the fabulous Hotel Victor in Miami's South Beach. During the party, the online casino representatives presented Shaq with a certificate awarding him one year of poker lessons from 2004 World Series of Poker champion Greg Raymer. In addition, the online casino was kind enough to purchase a seat for Shaq at the 2005 World Series of Poker, which amounted to 10,000 dollars.

Those who were invited to the event got to spend some quality time with Shaq and rub shoulders with some of the famous guests. Among the celebrities that were in attendance were Shaq's teammates, Donald and Melania Trump, rapper Timbaland, and actress Tara Reid. Guests were also invited to participate in several poker matches, where they played for 200 and 500 dollars coupons that were donated to the winner's charity of choice.
