A New Way to Play With the Poker Pros

By launchpoker, May 9, 2006

One of the biggest draws of professional poker is the accessibility of its stars. Unlike any other similar pastime, in poker you could conceivably sit down next to and play against world champions. Having those champions on a video game makes a second way you could play with poker pros, and a new game by Activision adds a third wrinkle that combines literally and virtually playing in their new title, soon to debut at the E3 Expo, World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions.



The new title has twice as many poker pros as previous incarnations, and new technology allows a player to map their own face into the game, so they could literally be sitting on their couch at home and next to their favorite stars at the same time.
