Shacknews Sponsors 2008 QuakeCon Poker Tourney, Play Texas Hold'em and Help Sick Kids Tonight
by Chris Faylor, Aug 01, 2008 3:48pm PDTAs Friday night approaches, many in Dallas are preparing for tonight's poker game, but it's not just any poker match. No, tonight is the 2008 IGDA QuakeCon Texas Hold'em Tournament, sponsored in part by Shacknews.
Sign-in starts around 6 PM CST at the Hilton Anatole Hotel, with tournament play beginning at 7 PM and all proceeds going to Child's Play.
It's a $30 cash-only buy-in, and during the first hour, you'll be able to buy back in however many times you can afford at $25 for a half-stack and $40 for a full stack. After that first hour, remaining players will be able to purchase one add-on.
Celebrities confirmed to be in attendance include Shacknews czar and resident hater Steve Gibson, along with his mother sHugamom, wife Aimee, lackey Nick Breckon, and a few surprise guests.

George and I battled each other on separate tables ( http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=17539908#itemanchor_17539908 ) though ultimately I was able to last longer. Thanks for the donation :)
I won an autographed mousepad by Fatality ( that's how I'm spelling it ), but he forgot who I was, even though I had played poker with him a few months prior and helped him during the Quake4 MP Beta period.
Randy made it to the final round and made it to either the 4th or 5th seat.
I donated at the web site and pretended I was playing poker for a good cause instead of no cause.
