Jul 11th, 2009 by Guitar MX Admin
The World Series of Poker draws many celebrities, and this year, one of them was Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian. Scott competed in the World Series of Poker Main Event, taking place now in Las Vegas. Out of over 6,000 entrants, Scott finished in 637th place. Not bad! He will take home a prize of $21,365.
Scott takes his poker seriously. Anthrax scheduled their world tour around the tournament. He also plays in a home game with Jerry Cantrell, Kirk Hammett, Slash, Greg from Mudvayne and Vinnie Paul. Here’s an interview with Scott after being knocked out of the tournament.
It’s pretty awesome to see musicians that can really hold their ground in other professional areas of recreation. Nice job Scott!
