Ben Eckstein, Rob Imbs and Justin Carlson have organised this excellent charity poker event at the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas during NAB on Monday April 12th at 8pm.
I will be playing, Rodney Charters ASC, Shane Hurlbut ASC, Vincent LaForet and Kevin Shaninian too. Unfortunately the only poker I used to play was the more adult variety and I was always the chilliest one by the end 😉 So I will be probably be done by about 815PM! Rodney also tells me he sucks, but I think he is bluffing!
Event info:
The event (www.allinfilm.org) will be held in a way to give players of all skill levels an opportunity to win awesome prizes. Seriously! You can absolutely stink at poker and still win a prize worth hundreds of dollars! This event is more about meeting up with some fun people, and giving out great prizes.
The current prize list (which keeps growing) is as follows:
-1 Steadicam Merlin

It’s a great even for a great cause, the American Red Cross for Haitian earthquake relief.
There are also a massive amount of great great prizes given to players regardless of their skill at winning (like me)

I’m in! I can’t wait to play with you all. I am going to start now with some online poker. Yee Haw!
Very much looking forward to this.
I still can’t believe all the prizes that have been donated by some VERY generous sponsors. I really want that Kessler CineSlider!
count me in!
If you reenact that scene whilst doing your Cowboy Voice from the shootout trailer (and with your cool new hat) … you may raise quite a huge sum of money. I can see it going down in the Casino now.
C U there! And if I call your bluff… please throw in the pink cowboy hat.
So would you be Billy the Kid or Bill and Ted?
Signed up and ready to go.. I just wonder how pooped Im going to be from all the walking I plan on doing at NAB. It my 2nd favorite time of the year.. right behind Christmas. 8)
I’m not playing, but I’ll watch from a safe distance. Should be slightly sober at 8pm. Good luck Phil!
I’ve been trying my hardest to figure out how to get there for this but it’s looking like tuesday is my only option for flying in without paying more than I want to. I may change my mind by tomorrow when I book the flight, it would be a lot of fun to do this, and it’s a write off for all us freelancers…
do it!
done. motel 6 (or as I like to call it, the guest house of MGM) here I come!
See you there!
And I’ll race you to see who loses all his chips first.
