Competitors can also buy their way into the Main Event for 10,000 UltimatePoints while one additional seat is to be offered through a special invitation-only online poker freeroll event. Scott Ian's Home Game will feature the man himself alongside Greg Tribbett from Mudvayne, Jerry Cantrell from Alice In Chains, Vinnie Paul from Pantera and rock legend Kirk Hammett from Metallica. Online poker players will be able to speak with the stars through UltimateBet.com's chat feature while the sit-and-go competiton will be rounded out with eleven-time World Series Of Poker bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth and World Poker Champion Annie Duke. The top five places in the 18-player Scott Ian Home Game will be awarded with a range of prizes and tournament entries including an $8,500 Aruba Poker Classic package going to the winner.
