Words from Vince Van Patten, WPT Host & Commentator

This year I'll be playing in the $10,000 Main Event at the WSOP. Patience and concentration are going to be my goals this year in order to play my best game. I think I'm overdue!

Player Spotlight: BBBKenzie!

My name is Brian Scott McKenzie.  I am a Massage and Auricular Therapist, as well as an Aspiring Actor/writer.
I live in Coalhurst, Alberta, with my fiancé, Teresa, and our 5 and a half month old TWIN girls, Elysia and Brianne.
I have always been interested in poker.  My friends, family and I have played all kinds of games for cash.
Being a background actor and in the industry in a way, I really enjoy Hollywood Poker.  Keep up the excellent work. It is been a joy to meet Celebrities on the site.
Other interests I have are sports (all kinds), practicing impressions and trying to be the best father I can be. It would be nice one day to get the twins in film or something.
I have played all kinds of sports and am a sports junky.
Celebrities that I have known and hung out with are Verne Troyer (aka ‘Mini-Me’), his friend Dan Payte (another little person), and have met several celebrities on movie sets after being an extra in around 20.
I try my best in this hardest industry.  My luck could come, but I wish it would hurry.
My goal too is to make it to a poker tourney for a lot of money.   I have won little money, so I know I can play, I just need a big break.
