i'll be at ign live this sunday (sunday! sunday!)
If you're in Anaheim this weekend, you can come out to IGN Live and play poker with me and Greg Raymer.
There are a lot of poker tournaments, but none offer the big chance the PokerStars.com All-In Tournament is offering. Play your cards right and you’ll get a chance to ante up against 2004 World Series of Poker Champion Greg Raymer. That’s right, the Fossil Man himself. Will you take down the champ or will you fall under the spell of his multi-colored glasses?
As if that wasn’t exciting enough, you can also win a chance to play against former Star Trek: The Next Generation star turned poker pro Wil Wheaton. In addition to playing cards, Wil is a big gaming enthusiast. Maybe try to chat up his gaming habits to take him off his poker game.
Hey! How about some advice on knocking Greg off of his game? Thanks, guys. While it's a little much to say that I'm a poker pro, they nailed the "gaming enthusiast" part. I'll be there early on Sunday just so I can play the XBox 360.
What PokerStars has set up for this weekend is very cool: there will be a series of free sit-n-go tournaments throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday. The winner of each tournament will win a seat at the final game of the day. Saturday's winner will play with Greg, and Sunday's winner will play with me. We'll also be in the PokerStars booth signing autographs during the afternoon on our respective days.
If you can't make it to The Los Angeles Anaheim Convention Center of Anaheim, but you still want to play poker with me, don't forget tomorrow's WWdN Invitational!
I wish I could be there for both days and try my luck against you AND the Fossilman, but I'll be stuck here in Texas. But what does that do to your entry in the Blogger tourney on Sunday? Will you have to withdraw from that? I'll be playing in that one, even if you can't make it.
What I'm sure the IGN attendees would like to see is a heads-up match between you and Greg Raymer. Any change of that?

That should read, "Any chance of that?" D'oh!

Wil,
Off topic, sorry. Would you like a copy of Flock for OS X? Happy to send one to you.
Best,
John

I guess this means you aren't going to play in the PokerStars Bloggers Tournament? Would have loved to see you there.

john doesn' that violate your eula with flock?
Dave Actually, we're working on a solution so I can play the blogger tourney while I'm at ign, between interviews and stuff.

Glad to hear that you might be playing in the Blogger tourney, Wil. Hope to bust you out, um, I mean, see you there.

Dammit Wil...
You are really the main reason I signed up for the blogger tourney. But it'll be fun with or without you, I know it.

Hey Wil.
I have signed up for tomorrow's tourney. There were 26 signed up when I did. Have you put it up on Card Squad yet?
"See" ya tomorrow
