Poker Players International

For those of you who don't already know, there's a new force in the poker world, called Poker Players International (PPI). I am proud to have been selected as a member of Team PPI Elite and am excited about everything in the works for the entire PPI group. PPI is an agency that is also focused on many of the things poker players need and are lacking right now, such as health and travel benefits.

PPI has already locked in some major sponsors for Team PPI Elite. Here's some information straight from the PPI Web site --

"First, Full Tilt Poker and PPI have agreed to terms for Team PPI Elite to be logo players for the online card room. Next comes Arbitrage, a luxury menswear company which has designed a version of its unique Krona hoodie dress shirt for Team PPI Elite and agreed to terms for a sponsorship deal for 2009. Finally, PPI and Curtis and Co. Watches have agreed to a one year deal for team PPI Elite players to endorse its designer watch collections in 2009."

You can follow the action on the Borgata Poker Blog everyday. PPI players have taken down the first two events at the 2009 Borgata Winter Open! Look for more of us at the final tables throughout this series, throughout 2009 and beyond.

Eric "Rizen" Lynch and I of Team PPI Elite and Kelly Armentrout of Team PPI have also taken the 1% pledge to the Prevent Cancer Foundation so that we can help Put a Bad Beat on Cancer. I think I speak for all of us that we are honored to take this pledge and to have a very nice press release sent out about it.

Take the Pledge!
