If you're on a good run and wouldn't mind storing away a little poker karma, PokerStars is giving you a chance to help earthquake victims in China.

At last count, more than 50,000 died in the China earthquake and left almost 250,000 injured. Some rescue organizations believe they will have to feed as many as 10 million people for three months. That's three times the population of Colorado.

If you would like to donate to the Red Cross and help the many victims and their families, you can do so directly from your PokerStars account.

Transfer any amount you chose, from $1 to $100, by signing up for the "China Quake Relief Fund" under the Tourney/Special tab.

No game will be played.

As it has for other special causes, PokerStars will match every donation, which means even dollars will be turned into $2 by PokerStars before the money is sent to the Red Cross.

If you don't have an account, download PokerStars now and you'll get an exclusive PokerWorks bonus of $25 free in addition to a 100 percent matching bonus up to $50. You must enter the marketing code of POKERWORKS upon registration and the bonus code of FIRST2008 upon your first deposit. If you do have an account, take a moment of your time, open your heart and your Bank Roll, and please make a donation.
