They were gathered by the heart. Some because they have from time to time an ace in their play. Others because they give food and meals to low income Angers inhabitants. The Angers poker club and the Resto du coeur were associated in a "solipoker" event on November 4th. The "recipe" is simple. The players come with a food gift as fees and have a competition from 9 h 30 till the afternoon.

The initiative was accessible to 100 cards lovers from the Angers poker club and other communities from Maine-et-Loire and outside. The tournament was in Texas hold 'em, a variation of the standard card game of poker. In Texas hold 'em, as in all variants of poker, individuals compete for an amount of money or chips contributed by the players themselves (called the pot).

The Angers Poker club was created in 2007 and gathers around 100 players all lovers of that game and who promote it in the Angers region through events, tournaments and workshops. The Restos du coeur community gathers, in Maine-et-Loire, more than 1 200 volunteers and hosted on one year about 10 000 persons to whom 1,5 million meals were served.
