Building on last year’s
#1 poker title and the number one brand in poker, World Series of
Poker®: Tournament of Champions takes a story-based approach as it puts
players on the Circuit as a newly turned poker pro and under the wing
of Chris “Jesus” Ferguson as his protégé. Players will test their
skills against the world’s best poker pros in the premier Circuit
Events in hopes of qualifying for the winner-take-all, invitation-only
Tournament of Champions at the Rio Resort in Las Vegas. Along the way,
players will face-off against more top pros than ever before,
including: Joseph Hachem, the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event
Champion; Jennifer Tilly, the Academy Award nominated actress and World
Series of Poker bracelet holder, and many others in hopes of bringing
home the Tournament of Champions trophy.

“The Master” Nguyen, Clonie Gowen, T.J. Cloutier, Eric Seidel, Antonio
