James Woods' online poker for tsunami aid:

James Woods[Hollywood News]: Los Angeles, Jan 12 : Hollywood actor James Woods ("Any Given Sunday", "The General's Daughter") will host an online poker tournament to aid the victims of the devastating tsunami tragedy.

Woods, a spokesperson for the website Hollywood Poker, said the money raised by this special event for members will be given to those affected by the Dec 26 disaster, reports Contactmusic.com.

"Anybody who signs up on Hollywood Poker, we're going to match every penny that's in that tournament," Woods explained.

"So if there's 10,000 people playing and there's $200,000 or $400,000 - whatever the money is - every penny of it, we're going to put up. We will give it to the tsunami-relief (efforts).

"And if you win anything, you're welcome to give some of that as well, or if not, you can keep it," said the actor.
