“Given the fun-loving nature of the audience, this is a great way to get players to try our simulator, and who knows, someone just may walk away with their ticket to the World Series of Poker Main Event paid for!” says Brian Arnold, Full Swing’s Senior Vice-President. “Several top poker players have our simulator in their homes so it was a natural place for us to exhibit.” For $10, each player will get five chances to score an ace. Players will be trying their luck and skill on the par-three, 159-yard 17th hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links form the amateur tees. “We expect that many people who are outside the Main Event will try to get in by making an ace on our Full Swing Golf simulator,” says Arnold. “It will be very exciting if someone actually does it!” As the worldwide leader in golf simulation, Full Swing Golf features a start-of-the-art infrared tracking system to supply golfers with the most accurate and sophisticated instant feedback in the game. Full Swing technology provides golfers with an extraordinary experience and precise shot information including yardage, launch angle, ball speed and carrying distance. The Full Swing Golf Simulator is located inside the ‘Bad Beat Bar’ adjacent to the Main Event competition floor and is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily in the Rio Hotel. Update: As the "$10,000 for an Ace" event took place at the Rio, another notable poker tournament set up shop right in front of the simulator at the same time. The 4th annual Ante up for Africa event, co-founded by actor Don Cheadle, pitted celebrities, poker pros, and amateur players against each other in a No-Limit Hold 'Em poker tournament that raised money for various humanitarian causes in Africa. Cheadle and fellow celebrities such as Matt Damon, Evander Holyfield, and Brad Garrett were seen mingling around the simulator, with many spending some time practicing their swing in the simulator during down time. Long Drive World Record holder, Mike Dobbyn, spent time showing off his skills and working with the celebs on the virtual driving range.
