After all, the concept of the show comes from the Poker All Stars. Beyond that, Wil actually was a player on the Penny Arcade Dungeons and Dragons sessions which had a similar look and feel and also predate IHiwMA. Besides, it doesn't matter who got there first. It looks like a lot of fun and I think thats the main point.  A lot of other people were there WAY before “I Hit it with My Axe.” After all, the concept of the show comes from the Poker All Stars.
