DeepStacks Live WSOP VIP Poker Package Freeroll on Full Tilt


Win a chance to party with Mike Matusow (foreground) and others in Vegas over the July 4th weekend.

This is a little last minute, and if we believed in apologizing we’d apologize, so instead we’ll just say that like the Ustream feed on our latest This Week in Poker, we had some technical difficulties getting this set and leave it at that.

Anyway, it’s still WCP’s 5 Year Anniversary, and like our World Cup brackets, we’re trying to find ways to continually “give back” to you, our readers, in ways that don’t involve snapping pics of girls at the WSOP without their knowledge.

So, on Monday, June 28th at 8pm ET, we’re holding a freeroll tournament on Full Tilt to give away a VIP Poker Package to Deepstacks Live (read more about it here).

The “VIP Poker Package” includes:

  • A three-night stay at Hard Rock Casino
  • Advanced cash and tournament strategies taught by Team DeepStacks
  • A July 2nd VIP Kick-Off Party at Wasted Space with Mike Matusow and other DeepStacks pros and some celebs
  • A July 4th VIP party Mike and the pros at the exclusive SKY BAR overlooking the Strip’s Fireworks show
  • Entry into the exclusive DeepStacks Champions tournament on July 4th
  • You’ll also receive free access to Deepstacks.com.

Here are the freeroll tournament details:
Where: Full Tilt Poker
ID: Tournament #168809825
Date: Monday, June 28
Time: 8pm ET

Final Day to Enter PokerVT WSOP Main Event Giveaway


Megan Fox in lingerie is not part of the prize package.

Today’s the last day to enter PokerVT’s Main Event giveaway.

Cliff Notes for those yet unfamil:

1. PokerVT account holders (if you’re not one yet, sign up here) register for a tournament where the winner receives a $12,500 Main Event buy-in package and private lesson with Daniel Negreanu.

2. Once you become a PokerVT member or if you already are one, register for the event here. Registration ends today.

3. The private tourney to give away the package will be held on PokerStars on Wednesday.

4. And that’s basically it.

In related news, while Megan Fox in lingerie is not part of the prize package and likely is unaware of the tournament, if she was aware of the tournament and played poker, she probably would’ve entered. So at least there’s that.

2010 WSOP Tournament of Champions Viral Video Contest



Well, we’ll give her an “A” for effort at least.

Jennifer Harman continues to put out viral videos campaigning for a seat in the 2010 WSOP Tournament of Champions. Her first video was brilliant in that in panned down to a gratuitous shot of her boobs. Now, had all of her videos done the same, we’d be like, “Fellini…Scorcese…Harman…greatest filmmakers of all-time?” However, the last two (the latest one above) are trending in the wrong direction. We know Jennifer can do better, but sometimes when you set the bar really high out the gate, you’ve got nowhere to go but down.

And it got us thinking: we know the rest of the TOC-eligible poker pros out there can do better too.

So let’s circumvent some of the twitter and facebook spam that will undoubtedly hit us in the run-up to the WSOP TOC June 15th voting deadline by you eligible pros and cut to the chaseTM: with permission begrudgingly given by the WSOP to use their registered trademarks (for real, and those C&D letters from Memphis make great bathroom reading) Wicked Chops Poker is offering all eligible TOC participants a chance to produce a viral video that could, potentially, get them into the top 20 in fan voting. We’re looking at you Prahlad Friedman, Jeff Madsen, Dutch Boyd, and etc.

Eligible bracelet winning pros, submit your TOC viral video idea to wickedchopspoker @ gmail.com. We will select the best, RawVegas.tv will produce it, and foot the bill. That’s right, you don’t even have to use any buy-in money for it.

The deadline for idea submissions is Monday, May 31st at noon PST. So get on it.

And view the current top 50 vote-getters here.
