Poker professional, Phil "The Unabomber" Laak (http://unabomberpoker.com) will be looking to set a new Guinness World Record for the most hours of poker played in a single sitting.

UnabomberPoker.com will be flying out three lucky winners to Las Vegas to stay at the Bellagio and play heads-up against a completely sleepless Laak.

There are three ways to win the flight, three nights accommodation and chance to step up against a disadvantaged Unabomber in a heads-up cash game.

The first will go to the winner of a $50 buy-in tournament at UnabomberPoker.com running on Thursday May 27th at 6pm PST. There will be no prize pool so all buy-ins will be refunded to player accounts making it a completely free chance at the prize.

 The second will go to the person who sends in the best 100-250 words, by May 23, stating why they should get a chance to play against a sleep deprived Unabomber. Send all submissions to blog@unabomberpoker.com.

Taking place at the luxurious Bellagio Poker Room in Las Vegas, starting on June 2, Laak will be looking to break the world record of 78 straight hours of playing poker which was set by Paul Zimbler in the fall of 2009.

Laak will be using the record-breaking attempt to raise money for charity. Camp Sunshine, an organization that provides respite, support, joy and hope to children with life-threatening illnesses and their immediate families through various stages of a child's illness, will be the beneficiary.

Phil Laak is an internationally recognized poker pro, known for his iconic look at the poker table where he wears sunglasses and a hooded sweatshirt pulled over his head. He is also a regular on televised poker shows like Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker. His animated personality, banter at the tables and interest in participating in sometimes bizarre propositional bets have also contributed to his renown.

For the most part, poker players and successful gamblers in general tend to hog the glory. While some players rise to titanic levels of popularity, others tend to fade into the background, of no fault of their own. Simply put, there is only so much attention the public can give to professional gamblers. As a result, we have gathered here today not to give even more attention to the likes of Daniel Negreanu, but to talk about the unsung heroes of the industry that deserve more attention than they are current
