Mar 1st
If you have not heard or read the news, let me give you a quick summary. On February 9 was to the poker world knows that Foxwoods Resort Casino called me his official spokesman of the World Poker Tour (WPT) poker room brand. I am very honored and privileged to be one of the best poker rooms in the world wants and the first in New England Spielquelle.Ich also to all those who sent their kind words and congratulations on my sponsorship agreement with Foxwoods Resort Casino to thank. I was very humbled to numerous e-mails, text messages and receive the poker world, Joe Hachem, Daniel Negreanu, Dennis Phillips, Joe Cada to Chris Moneymaker Lee Childs Matt Glantz, and much more. In addition, I was very happy with many kind words and comments from you to get the fans, and I can not give you enough danken.Foxwoods Resort Casino has always held a special place in my heart, because again, I am very satisfied with this result is satisfactory. After its opening in 1992, I visited the Foxwoods poker room for the first time. Since then she has a place of firsts for me to be here: 1) My First Poker Turnier2) my first satellite tournament gewinnen3) My first big buy-in Main Event ($ 10,000 World Poker Finals in 2004) 4) My book poker first ($ 5,000 No-Limit Hold’em World Poker Finals 2006), I then captured two more titles at Foxwoods during the next two years, so I have three tracks to the final World Poker three consecutive years to acquire (from 2006 to 2008). I have the $ 2,000 No Limit Hold’em in 2007 and $ 600 No Limit Shootout in 2008. I’m almost four titles in four years, succeeded in a row, when I made the final table in 2009 $ 1,500 No-Limit Hold’em. Unfortunately, I was a little short, finishing up neun.Trotzdem disappointing, I made eight final tables, earning over $ 750,000. So you can see why I consider it my home away from home. As I mentioned in the press release, “If there is no such thing as home field advantage in poker, I am at Foxwoods.” After the news was announced last month had many people confused and asked what the sponsorship agreement brings. The agreement is fairly simple because it is similar to a sponsorship agreement poker room online that we’ve all become accustomed over the past Jahren.Auch where players online sponsorships already been fairly commonplace, it is always difficult see how getreten.Nun preserved, especially for Americans since the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIEGA) comes into force the first big Foxwoods Casino to sign a player to a sponsorship agreement. Previously, other players have signed agreements with smaller casinos: Scotty Nguyen with the Cherokee Casino in Oklahoma, and Michael Mizrachi, with Planet Hollywood. In addition, Daniel Negreanu has an interesting but short-lived with the Wynn for the heads-up games on their Eigentum.Jetzt other casinos across the country are beginning to look more closely at their internal situation and possibly higher If the sponsorship offer with a local player erkennen.Insgesamt I believe that this agreement has opened a new way, sponsorship player in the world of poker. Over the next 18 months, I feel that there may be additional signatures of casinos, particularly in states that have smaller, regional competitors. States like Florida, Oklahoma, Michigan, Indiana and Arizona are the places where an agreement with a local player would be beneficial. For example, Florida has a buy-in tournament increases the maximum of $ 1000 and seeks to increase even further. With a host of top players from the Sunshine State: Jason Mercier, Jonathan Little, who are the Mizrachi brothers, Chad Brown, Vanessa Rousso, and casinos would be more players to choose aus.Ich look forward to signing this potentially be a trend. The next time you reach the East Coast, and with me in the forest and experience “The Wonder of It All.” Before you leave this month, I want my team of staff who made possible agreement with Foxwoods Resort Casino. These members are to my agent / manager (Charlie Tillett), journalist (Jennifer Rosinski-Croteau) and assistant / manager of radio news (Steve Buchanan).
