Manchester United ex-footballer Gary Bailey and Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish are putting their best feet forward today for a competition that's a little different than their usual fare. Both former British soccer stars have taken an aim at victory, but instead of eying the goalposts, they'll have their faces in the cards, poker cards. Bailey and Dalglish are anteing up for charity in Ladbrokes' online poker room. The beneficiary of this celebrity tournament- The Marina Dalglish Breast Cancer Appeal.

Anyone can join in the game at Ladbrokes for a small buy-in fee of $1. Unlimited re-buys are permitted within the first hour of the tournament. Even though charity is the name of the game in this poker tournament, players will nonetheless be able to qualify for a range of prizes. In addition to the prizes awarded to top finishers, any player who manages to knock out either of the tournament's two resident poker stars will win an additional $250.
