Actress-producer Salma Hayek will take part this week in a poker tournament with charity purposes, which will be held in parallel with the international Festival de Cannes. According to the organizers of the event, Hayek will share the table with his former boyfriend, American actor Edward Norton.

The Palm Beach Casino in Cannes will host the poker game and other stars like Woody Harrelson, Dennis Hopper, Tim Robbins and Goldie Hawn have already confirmed their presence. The group will play for a million dollars, which will be donated to the charity of their choice.

No public will be allowed inside the VIP room of the casino where the poker round will take place but the images of the event will be displayed in wide screens placed outside the casino. This is only one of the several charitable initiatives that intend to help good causes taking advantage of the famous visitors that arrive in Cannes every year.

Salma Hayek has been invited to the Festival several times, both as an actress and as part of the jury in 2005.
