The event was a success, everyone had a really good time and the players got the opportunity to play poker with some of the most well known celebrities in the industry. We had 3 tables with 5 celebrities scattered about. Amongst our celebrity poker crowd were Jason Mewes, best known for his performances in Clerks; Dogma and Jay & Silent Bob. Mewes kept the players enertained with some of his perverted, tasteless, yet funny anecdotes.
I recruited Jason Lively at the VIP Party the night before the tournament, Lively happens to be one of the most genuine, sweetest celebrities ever. "Everyone loves Rusty!" he told me. Jason Lively is best known for his performance in European Vacation with Chevy Chase as Russell "Rusty" Griswold.
Brian Krause was a little hesitant to play but finally said yes. Brian is best known for his performances in Sleepwalkers and T.V series Charmed. He got knocked out within a half hour after the tournament began.
Last but not least Kane Hodder, who happens to be a very good poker player ended up at the final table and got knocked out at the bubble ( fourth place ). Kane who's well known for his performances as "Jason" in Friday the 13th parts 7,8,9 and 10 played along side friend Steve Nappe from "Hollywood Ghosthunters" whom also played one of Kane's victims in Friday the 13th part 10.
Everyone had a really good time and I look forward to doing it again next year. For the first year we did excellent. As always there are some things to tweak out for the following year but I look forward to the challenges.
