Poker World: Become One of Our Famous Faces!

With Academy Award winners, dazzling starlets and dashing leading men, it’s safe to say there’s a lot of Famous Faces around the tables at Hollywood Poker. We’re continually attracting some of the biggest names and hottest poker players in Tinsel Town and we think you’ve got the goods to join the ranks. That’s right: Hollywood Poker is sending a record number of players to the WSOP this year and we’re betting that poker stardom will be in the cards. After all, you don’t have to be rich and famous to get in to this world class poker event but you could be rich and famous by the time you walk out. 

We all know Lady Luck is fickle, but we also know that luck is only half the battle at the poker table. It’s also a matter of skill, and skill involves knowing when to act on a good spread - like this one: Hollywood Poker’s WSOP Tournaments. There are multiple ways to get in, get out and get on the road to poker fame and fortune with a $12,500 WSOP Prize Package which includes a seat in the WSOP. Best of all, you could snag all of this for FREE. Like I said, you’ve got to know when to act – and in case you need a little hint, that time is now. The first event is just a couple weeks away.

In this week's Player Spotlight meet Ten2Ten!

Hey everyone!

I’m a single father living who enjoys nothing more than some peace and quiet at the tables during the rare moments I get to escape the hordes of screaming children – and I mean HORDES. I have 7 kids ranging from 2 to 16 and it is a handful, to say the least. I wonder how all the Irish-Catholic women have done it for generation after generation. Maybe it’s genetic. What ever keeps these women going, I certainly don’t have. What I do have, however, is a supportive extended family, a well-stocked liquor cabinet and a healthy love for poker. When I can’t make it out to join the boys for a game, I don’t have to feel completely left out. We either start up a private tournament at Hollywood Poker or I just join in one of the regular tournaments. My favorites are the sit ‘n’ gos because you never know when one of your off-spring will stick a pebble up his or her nose or lock another one in the trunk.

There’s never a dull moment!

If you see me at the tables, wish me luck in the home!
