On Friday, February 19, stars such as Tony Hawk, Christian Slater, Brad Garrett, Jason Alexander, Joanna Krupa, Montel Williams, Donnie Wahlberg, Marlon Waynes and Slash were among the 39 players who competed in the $540 event in The Venetian Poker Room - raising more than $42,000 for Three Square, a food charity in Southern Nevada.
This inaugural poker event started off on the right foot with over 872 poker players registering for the $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em Tournament with many well-known names in the international poker scene.
Friday’s tournament saw some big celebrity names battle it out on the poker tables including:
AJ Buckley from CSI NY, Nicholas Gonzalez and Shaun Sipos of CW’s Melrose Place and UFC fighter Tito Ortiz.
Christian Slater was amazingly friendly and a fan favorite. He kept jumping up from the poker table to take photos with the fans lining the aisles. A bounty was put on Daniel Negreanu and the prize - a signed guitar by Slash - went to actor Donnie Wahlberg. Donnie said he was going to give the guitar to his son.
Zak “Zakooza” Alameddine from New York won the event and a ticket into next year’s PokerStars.net Caribbean Adventure in the Bahamas. He beat top poker pros such as Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, world champion Joe Cada, Gavin Griffin, Dennis Phillips, Chris Moneymaker and Vanessa Rousso.
Baseball legend, Orel Hershiser, came second winning a seat in the NAPT Mohegan Sun event in April. John Beveridge from Henderson, Nevada, came third and won a seat into today’s $5,000 PokerStars.net North American Poker Tour Venetian Main Event which is set to attract more than 800 players.
After playing in the tournament, the stars headed up to TAO Nightclub for cocktails, hors dourves and a special musical performance by recording artist T-Pain.
- Christian Slater was seeing talking with Marlon Waynes and taking more photos with party guests and snacking on chicken satay.
- Poker great Phil Hellmuth was seen relaxing in the VIP area with Brad Garrett and his friend enjoying a few cocktails.
- Joanna Krupa mingled with Tony Hawk then turned her attention to T-Pain and danced to the music.
- Melrose Place stars Nicholas Gonzalez and Shaun Sipos also hung out in the VIP area and spoke about how much they love Tao and The Palazzo and can’t wait to come back.

Despite Chael Sonnen’s impressive defeat of top contender Nate Marquardt at UFC 109, manager, translator and aspiring matchmaker Ed Soares – the English-speaking front man for UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva – doesn’t feel the American deserves a shot at his ward’s belt.

KZ Event Productions and Golden Boy Promotions are pleased to present “Campillo vs. Shumenov II”, a spectacular boxing evening set to take place on January 29th at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The boxing event will feature a 12-round main bout, Spain’s Gabriel Campillo (19-2, 5 KO’s) will defend his WBA Light Heavyweight World Title against Las Vegas resident Beibut Shumenov (8-1, 6 KO’s), who will defend his IBA Light Heavyweight World Title, in a rematch of their 2009 title fight won by Campillo in a razor-thin and highly controversial majority decision.
Former Spanish light heavyweight Champ Gabriel Campillo kicked off last year winning the European Union belt against Lolenga Mock. Just three months later on June 20, he defeated Hugo Garay in Argentina for the WBA Light Heavyweight World Title before finishing off 2009 with his win over Shumenov.
Beibut Shumenov represented Kazakhstan in the 2004 Olympics, and made his professional debut until 2007, defeating veterans Donnell Wiggins and Epifanio Mendoza, as well as former World Champions Montell Griffin and Byron Mitchell. Although he lost to Campillo in his first world title bout last year, the 26-year-old Shumenov plans to use the defeat as a learning experience and aims to reverse that result on January 29th.
“Campillo vs. Shumenov II” will also present a fight card featuring Cuban amateur star Erislandy Lara faces vs. junior middleweight Grady Brewer, winner of The Contender II reality television show, undefeated Uzbekistani fighters Gayrat Ahmedov and Ravshan Hudaynazarov, super featherweight Eloy Perez and David Rodela and boxing prospects Carlos Molina and Ronny Rios.
“Campillo vs. Shumenov II” will be broadcast live on Fox Sports Net (FSN) and its regional sports network affiliates beginning at 11 pm ET / 8 pm PT. Tickets for this action-packed night of boxing may be purchased at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel Box Office or by phone at 800-745-3000. Doors will open at 6 pm and the first bell rings at 7 pm.

Despite a string of crushing losses that saw him plummet from the top of the light-heavyweight heap to the bottom, aging ex-champ Chuck Liddell insists that the desire to get into the cage and compete burns within him, and that he’s far from done.
