Chris Moneymaker Brings Playmates and Poker Together at Playboy Poker Camp

Since many poker players are of the male gender, it seems that pairing up the game of pokerwith playboy is a very good idea. That is what happened when 2003 World Series Main Event Champion Chris Moneymakersigned an agreement with Playboy Enterprises as soon as he launched his company, Moneymaker Gaming. The 2 companies then began producing a line of poker related products, like expensive poker chips with Playmate logos and pictures imprinted on them.

Nonetheless, Moneymaker's new activity for serious Poker Players even surpassed these products. Now he's bringing on the real thing. Moneymaker will be combining Poker and the Playboy mansion. Starting January 21, 2007, Moneymaker Gaming will be hosting a Poker "Convention" at the Playboy Poker Camp. Poker Participants will receive a lecture, instructions and demonstrations regarding Poker. Scheduled to present at the event which will be held at the Morongo Casino located in Palm Strings are top-level Pro Pokers, likeLayne Flack, David Williams, Jim "Krazy Kanuck" Worth, and, of course, Chris Moneymaker. After the lessons, the participants play against each other and the pro poker players with a few games and Sit-n-Go's with an equivalent of $100 in cash prizes.

One of the most unique aspects of the party is that they are surrounded by instructional sessions. The party will be hosted by Playmates like Monica Leigh (Miss March 2006) and Carmella DeCesare (Playmate of the Year 2004). The event will culminate in a party with some celebrities and Playmates at the Playboy mansion. In a recent interview, Chris Moneymaker said that the participants will be getting their money's worth because aside from learning a lot about poker, they can also enjoy the parties and their surroundings, not to mention the chance to win the big Jackpot prize for the tournament.

There are also parties that the participants can attend, like the one in Morongo with many Playboy Bunnies around and the one at the Playboy Mansion, which has 50 topless Bunnies running around and generally having a good time. Payment for the camp starts around $5,000 per camper, which buys 2 days of poker lessons, good food, entry to the tournament where you will have the chance to win $100,000 and parties at the Ultra Lounge and Hugh Heffner's Mansion. If a participant is also brave enough to bring his spouse, he will have to pay an additional $900 so that his spouse can enjoy the spa while the poker lessons take place.

The $5,000 also serve as part of the Jackpot prize for the tournament. In addition to the cash prize, the lucky winners will be able to win interesting prizes like tickets for future parties at the Playboy mansion, a lunch date with a Playmate and a Las Vegas vacation for you and your friends.
