The QUEST for Richest Poker Champ Begins

Ten world-class poker players will come together to compete for one entry into the tournament that boasts the richest poker first prize -- the $15 million POKER: Quest of Champions at The Palms Hotel and Casino.

Angelo Halkias Pokerquest COO said "The field of entrants for this event is comprised of Titans from the combined worlds of poker, Hollywood, and business." It all takes place Labor Day weekend, Sunday Sept. 4, 2005 at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas. The Tournament begins at 1 pm.

The main event is slated to begin on New Year's week.

The Quest has already caught the attention of Hollywood stars such as James Woods, Michael Vartan, and Mimi Rogers and world renowned poker champions such as Daniel Negreanu, Johnny Chan, Reza Payvar, Amir Vahedi, Phil Hellmuth, and T.J. Cloutier all of which have contracted to play as the remaining open seats are quickly being filled by celebrity players from around the world.

Unlike many of the current tournaments, the Quest will feature only 100 players, at ten shoot-out tables. The winner from each table advances to the final table. The ultimate winner will take home $15 million dollars, the highest first-place professional poker pay out in the history of the sport, after beating the 18 other players.

"We designed this format to showcase the drama inherent within professional sports," said Jason Augustine, CEO of PokerQuest Entertainment.
