My best friend Mark Griffith qualified for the 6 man vegas game at the Bellagio. This game airs on 02/11/2005 on FoxSports at 11PM I think. Check him out and see how he does. If he wins, he gets like 25k to enter WSOP events of his choice. He said it would only be fair to pay for one of us to go with him to the WSOP. He said if he wins, he will hold a home game and he will pay the winner's place into the WSOP. Can you imagine the tention of this HOME GAME. WOW!!!!

First off, congratulations! What an amazing experience he (and hopefully YOU!) gets to be a part of.

Second, dreams could be made and broken ....IN A HOME GAME!!!
(and I thought my weekly $400 pot home game was worth getting worked up over!)

Gotta love that! Big ol' GOOD LUCK to all!

He also gets to have dinner on Feb. 9th with Anne Duke. I think that is pretty darn cool.

You think he'll pick up some tips from Annie Duke.

Congrats to your friend, that is cool.

Sorry. I posted this in the wrong area. No disrespect intended.

The show is on now. It is on FoxSports at 11PM ET I think. It is called something like Ulitmate Bet Poker Challenge. Anyway, he is only up against 5 other people. It is just a 6 man game live on T.V. It airs on Feb 11 I believe.

My buddy just got his email confirming flight times and what not. It turns out that this is not on TV. UB was running a couple of different tourneys. This one is for a VIP package to the WSOP. You win free room stay at the Belligio during the WSOP and 25k worth of buy in money. He gets the dinner with Anne Duke and after the game, the six people go out and party with the Poker Brat himself...Phil Hellmuth. Phil is his personal favorite player so I am sure he will enjoy that. I will post some pics after he gets home. I also asked him to get a couple chips autographed. Why not right?
