The game takes high-stakes poker action to new heights with twice as many top pros, access to extensive poker tools that will help players improve their game, and DigiMaskTM Technology that actually maps a player's face into the game.

World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions features an immersive storyline that casts players as a newly turned poker pro building his career under the tutelage of Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, learning strategies and tips directly from one of the world's foremost poker pros. Gamers advance their career by competing against top pros in the premiere Circuit Events in hopes of qualifying for the winner-take-all, invitation-only Tournament of Champions, which is held at the Rio Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The game will be available this autumn for the Xbox 360, as well as other platforms.

"This is the most authentic and realistic World Series of Poker video game to ever hit the shelves," said Jeffrey Pollack, commissioner of the World Series of Poker and vice present of Sports & Entertainment Marketing for Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:HET). "Activision has again innovated for the benefit of poker players, our media partners, and, most importantly, World Series of Poker fans around the world."
