Playboy Poker Camp debuts in 2007

Chris Moneymaker's company, Moneymaker Gaming, and Playboy have brought poker players products such as Playboy branded poker chips with logos and pictures. Now the partnership is offering hands-on training with the Playboy Poker Camp.

The camp runs Jan. 17-21 with instruction from several pro players, parties, daily tournaments and more.

Along with Chris Moneymaker, the instructors include Layne Flack, Antonio Esfandiari, David Williams and Jim "Krazy Kanuck" Worth. All of whom have had impressive showings in the World Series of Poker or the World Poker Tour.

The camp will take place at the Morongo Resort Hotel and Casino in Palm Springs. There will be daily instruction sessions as well as tournaments and sit-and-goes where attendees can put what they've learned into practice.

The tournaments will also include more than $100,000 in cash and prizes for the players. The prizes include deluxe poker room makeovers, exclusive Playboy poker products, tickets to upcoming Playboy parties, lunch with a Playboy Playmate, and Vegas vacation packages.

The highlight of the camp will be the final night, Jan. 20, when all the participants will get to head to the Playboy Mansion for a Blowout Party with the Playmates, Bunnies, Cyber Girls and more.
