As I told you earlier, I’ll be heading out to Vegas next week for Blogs With Balls 2.0.

I’m excited to network with other bloggers, hit the ESPN party and listen to the panelists… but, as far as I’m concerned, the crown jewel of the week will be the Blogs With Balls Charity Poker Shootout.

We’re a sponsor of the event and couldn’t be happier. The tourney was put together by Dan Levy at OnTheDLPodcast (one of the best podcasts online, imo) and is raising cash for Ante Up for Africa.

Also — since this event is in Vegas, there is a 50% chance that I’ll be floating face down by the end of the week. Look forward to photos and updates throughout.

Tourney Details:

When: Friday, October 16, 2009 • 8pm
Where: Hard Rock Hotel and Casino
Buy-in: $50+10
Winners: Prizes for table winners, knockout bonuses and finalists. Cash prizes for top finishers.

That’s not all! In addition to bloggers that have played in our Invitational Blogger Tourneys, this event is featuring some of the most legit pros in the business.

The Pros:

• Annie Duke
• Jennifer Harman – seen naked earlier today
• Joe Sebok
• James Van Alstyne
• Marco Traniello
• Jeff Madsen
• Karina Jett
• Chip Jett

• Me

PUNTE from WithLeather will be repping CarbonPoker and wearing our gear. Despite his poker play, he’s actually a good friend of the site. When he eventually gets knocked out, whoever does it will be awarded some CP swag!

We’ll also be awarding winners, and losers, some pretty exclusive Carbon stuff. If you’re in Vegas next week, be sure to stop by.
