Play 'World Series of Poker' (X360) vs. Kansas City Running Back Larry Johnson

by Rainier on Sept. 20, 2006 @ 3:24 p.m. PDT

Set around the main table at the Rio Casino in Las Vegas, the game authentically captures all of the high-stakes action -- from the likeness and play styles of renowned pros like Chris “Jesus” Ferguson and 14 other top poker players to the accurate recreation of the WSOP poker room, down to the carpet and the wallpaper.

Fans interested in tackling LJ on Xbox 360 should keep an eye for the Xbox Live ‘gamertag’ LJ27GWF on Friday, September 22 between 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. PST/ 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. EST to challenge the superstar in a game of poker via Xbox Live playing Activision’s World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions for Xbox 360.

Johnson, currently in his fourth season with the Chiefs, rushed for more than 1700 yards last season, ranking him third in the league and earning him his first ever Pro Bowl selection. As one of the most dynamic backs in the NFL, Johnson blends a mixture of speed and power to run through defenses throughout the league. His 21 total touchdowns placed him at second best and he topped the century mark in rushing during each of his nine starts this year. A prominent figure on and off the field, Larry has become the first NFL player to be sponsored by an urban brand apparel, signing a major endorsement deal with Jay-Z’s Rocawear clothing label.
