I received the following e-mail today - this is good news for players:
Attention Fellow Poker Players and Associates,
WE HAVE A TV DEAL!!!
Most of the details went in favor of the WPPA...
Fact: The WPPA Championship of Poker, Oct 8-12 at the ORLEANS will be televised by GSN, Game Show Network!!!
BOTTOM LINE: for the first time poker players will be paid for being on TV!!! WPPA MEMBERS will be paid!!!
The WPPA created a "license fee" for using Poker Players and this fee has been agreed upon by GSN!!!
Details will follow almost daily!!!
NOW....we need to get BIG SUPPORT for the ORLEANS Tournament and keep this WPPA movement going!!!
Louis J. Asmo, commissioner pro tem, WPPA
Check out the WPPA - this is an organization which is championing the poker players' interest as well as the interest of dealers and floor personnel. Felicia is very involved and has more information, too.
