Swap your Guitar Chops for Poker Chips
Introduction
I hope Scot Ian's cards are as good as his rock chick!
Scott Ian , the renowned guitarist with Anthrax, is repeating last year’s success with another performance in 2009. Only it won’t be on an arena stage or in a rock club – but in the online poker website – UltimateBet. Scheduled for August 19th, Scott Ian’s Home Game online poker tournament is bound to be a draw for fans of poker, rock music and Anthrax in particular.
Competing in Scott Ian’s Home Game
In the Home Game you’ll be in an 18 seat “Sit-n-Go” Texas Hold ‘em; and the best way to compete for one of the 11 seats on offer will be by playing in the qualifying Daily Satellites available up until August 15th. Winners of these are paid out with an entry to the Main Event on August 18th which in turn pays out 10 seats to the Scott Ian Home Game. Also, on August 19th five hours ahead of the Home game starting at 21:00, there’ll be an invitation only online poker Freeroll for UltimateBet VIP poker players. Should you finish in the top 5 of the Home Game then you’ll be in line for a top prize of $8,500 and a trip to the Aruba Poker Classic in the Caribbean.
Celebrities playing in the Scott Ian Home Game
The legend that is Kirk Hammet. He's got the guitar chops - but can he play those poker chips?
Being an UltimateBet online poker tournament two seats will be taken by professionals Annie Duke and Phil Hellmuth. The other five celebrities are from the world of rock, being: Jerry Cantrell, Vinnie Paul, Greg Tribbet, the guitar legend that is Kirk Hammet and the man himself – Scott Ian. Whether you’re drawn to this poker tournament by the rock stars, the poker or both – you can chat online to the players during the Home Game; so there’s an opportunity to personally connect with these giants of poker and rock. But please don’t start in with comments about “The ace of spades” (Motorhead) or “Deuces are wild” (Aerosmith) or “Chase the ace” (AC/DC) etc – I’m sure they’ve heard them all before!
