LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2005--The Palms Hotel and Casino and POKER: Quest of Champions have announced the beginning of THE QUEST...the PRO-SHOOTOUT at The Palms.
Ten world class players will come together to compete for one entry into the tournament that boasts THE RICHEST FIRST PRIZE IN THE GAME....The $15 million POKER: Quest of Champions. A sponsored seat into the main event is up for grabs, with the MAIN EVENT slated to begin New Year's week at The Palms Hotel and Casino.

Angelo Halkias Pokerquest COO said "The field of entrants for this event is comprised of Titans from the combined worlds of Poker, Hollywood, and Business."

Join us at The Palms to witness some of the world's best players do battle for a shot at Immortality...

This tournament has already caught the attention of Hollywood stars such as James Woods, Michael Vartan, and Mimi Rogers and World Renowned Poker Champions such as Daniel Negreanu, Johnny Chan, Reza Payvar, Amir Vahedi, Phil Hellmuth, and T.J. Cloutier all of which have contracted to play as the remaining open seats are quickly being filled by celebrity players from around the world.

Unlike many of the current tournaments, the Quest will feature only 100 players, at ten shoot-out tables. The winner from each table advances to the final table. The ultimate winner will take home $15 million dollars, the highest first-place professional poker pay out in the history of the sport, after beating the 18 other players. "We designed this format to showcase the drama inherent within professional sports," said Jason Augustine, CEO of PokerQuest Entertainment.

Last week, Las Vegas-based PokerQuest Entertainment signed with Los Angeles based Artist International Management's manager Joel Newton to represent The Quest and shop the tournament for a network television deal.

Doc Hollywood Studios, Inc., founded by CEO Steven Saxton is an entertainment holdings company and upon completion of the recently announced acquisition, will become majority stockholder to Doc Hollywood Kidz / Doc Hollywood Records (Pink Sheets: DHYK - News), Doc Hollywood Productions, DH1 Reality TV, Bop City Records, and Artist International Management.
