Anthony Cibotti wins Playboy Beauty and the Bet champions tournament

The Beauty and the Bet champions tournament - the final event of a charity poker night hosted by Phil Hellmuth in association with Playboy - has been won by Anthony Cibotti, it has been reported.

After finishing third in the main event behind Steve Kontharos and Eric Mills, Cibotti and the two men ahead of him then faced off against the top three players from the high-roller tournament - Todd Brunson, Arnette Heintze and Bruce Culver, according to Car Player.

The money raised from the tournament was donated to the Taser foundation for fallen officers' families.

Gerladine Hills, spokeperson for the charity, said: "Having the Playboy relationship and Phil Hellmuth really differentiates us from other poker tournaments.

"We are trying to be unique and be edgy and fun to raise a lot of money for the families."

Among the top players taking part was Steve Zolotow, a two-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner who has tournament winnings in excess of $1.6 million, according to Hendon Mob statistics.
