Host Hank Azaria said: "I'm excited to be back for another game and more entertainment for everyone to enjoy while we raise more funds for charity. Connecting with these guys for good has been a blast. You just never know what's going to happen, and I don't even mean just with the poker." 

Kent Seton, CEO and Chairman of Edward Charles Foundation (a 501c3 public charity umbrella of over 100 charitable initiatives), said: "The Edward Charles Foundation team is beyond excited to be working with the world class platform, PokerStars.net who have stepped up to do good and change the world and the Edward Charles Foundation team is specifically excited to be working with the Hank's Home Game initiative which will help raise charitable funds and change countless lives."

Game one saw Don Cheadle, Jon Hamm, Michael Ian Black, Josh Charles and Michael Cera compete with Hank for worthy causes. Michael Cera took the top spot and $20,000 donation to his charity of choice, First Responders First who support the health and safety needs of public healthcare workers. 

Hank's Home Game follows on from Stars Call for Action in May 2020 where more than $1 million was donated to charities as more than 90 celebrities came together to play poker. David Costabile took down the tournament and $100,000 was donated to his chosen charity World Central Kitchen to supply food to those who need it most.
