Poker Pros Invite Poker Players to Defend the Game
Spurred on by the recent federal legislation that could prohibit playing online poker in the United States, the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) is hosting a cocktail party and rally in Las Vegas for poker players who want to defend their right to play the game on the internet.
Event sponsor, Poker Players Alliance, organisation president Michael Bolcerek, and members Chris Ferguson, Linda Johnson, Howard Lederer and Greg Raymer, invite all interested poker players to enjoy a hosted bar and hors d'oeuvres from 17:00 to 20:00 at Buzio's Seafood Restaurant in the Rio Hotel and Casino on July 28. Reservations are not required.
'Poker is one of America's favourite past-times and we intend to keep it that way,” said Bolcerek. “It is time to rally together to defend the game and ensure poker players can enjoy this game as they always have.”
Greg Raymer thinks the PPA’s influence would be strengthened with more members. 'The Poker Players Alliance is an important organization fighting to protect poker from government interference,” he said. “If you care about your right to play poker, you should become a member of the PPA.”
