Scott Ian, best known for being the rhythm guitarist for heavy metal group Anthrax, is an avid poker player. So much so, if Scot is not working on music then he is online at UltimateBet working on his poker skills. Scott has hosted an online “home game” at UltimateBet once before and now has announced he will be holding his second “home game” this august.
Scott has announced that an Aruba Poker Classic package will be up for grabs for the winner of the online “home game” so more players are expected to try for a seat to the rocker’s event. Scott also mentioned how supportive the UB players were for his first home game.
The tournament will have eighteen players with eleven seats available for online players. The other seats will be taken by Scott, Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, Vinnie Paul of Pantera,, Greg Tribbett of Mudvayne as well as Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke of UltimateBet.
An exclusive qualifying tournament will take place on the 18th of August and will have an entry fee of 10,000 UltimatePoints. But if players do not have that many points they can enter in daily multi-table tournaments that have buy-ins as low as 1,000 UltimatePoints.
The UltimateBet “home game” will take place on August 19th at 9:30pm and Annie Duke will be hoping to defend her title as champion as she won the first home game back in March. Scott finished in eighth place so he will be working to stay in longer this go round. It should be very interesting to see which type of player will earn the win this time. Will it be a rocker, poker pro or online player who earns the first place finish?
