Last night saw the premiere of BET’s Black Poker Stars Invitational. The Tuesday night (10:30 p.m.) series sees some big names in entertainment get together to compete in a $50,000 No Limit Holdem tournament for charity.

Most of the players (listed below) don’t know a straight from a flush so BET brought in Bodog’s own David Williams to prep and coach the celebs before they hit the felt.

As you can tell from the teaser above, despite there being plenty of trash talk and rivalry, it’s mainly about these guys laughing their asses off while they play some poker.
