Activision announced it will debut its newest poker simulation, "World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions," at the the E3 Expo in Los Angeles on May 10.

"World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions" features a layered storyline that casts the player as a newly turned poker pro building his career under the tutelage of Chris "Jesus" Ferguson.

Gamers advance their careers by competing against top pros in the premiere WSOP Circuit events in hopes of qualifying for the winner-take-all invitation-only Tournament of Champions, which is held at the Rio Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The game will be available this fall for the Xbox 360, as well as other platforms.

"World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions" is another game to be added to the list of video poker games created for stand-alone video game systems. Activision already has one WSOP-licensed game on the market, which is not surprisingly called "World Series of Poker."

The World Poker Tour also has its own video game, as do several of the most popular players, such as Daniel Negreanu and Howard Lederer.
