The Hollywood Poker Celebrity Classic Update

Sunday, a day for relaxing, sleeping in and of course playing poker. Yep, it was a The Hollywood Poker Celebrity Classic day and as usual I made my way to the poker tables. I got to talk to Jon Kelley, one of the co-anchors of the Extra. I included a screen shot of this conversation on this post.

Jon Kelley was a really cool guy, he answered everyone’s questions and was really active in the chat during the whole tournament and he seems like an average guy. Another big name in the weekend tournament was WPT host and Hollywood Poker’s own Vince Van Patten. I got to ask Vince a couple questions and from what he told me it sounds like there will be some exciting things happening in the World Poker Tour this season.

As you may have noticed I haven’t really mentioned how well I did at poker during the tournament. Well there is a reason for that, I got knocked out fairly early. Usually I have a good bad beat story, but I basically just played sloppy and lost.

I did manage to do the impossible yesterday, I got a Royal Flush. I really didn’t make much money off of it, mostly because I didn’t want anyone to fold. It was still pretty cool and it was exciting. I know a lot of you probably don’t believe me, I tried to take a screen shot of the moment, but did not press the keys in time.

Anyways, that was my weekend in poker. Looking back on it the conversation with Jon Kelley and Vince Patten was worth busting out of the tournament early, plus the Royal Flush helped too. Remember, if you liked reading about my experience playing poker against stars, you can do the same by playing online poker at Hollywood Poker.
