Two big names join PPA
Two of the top names in the poker industry have joined the board of directors for the Poker Players Alliance (PPA).
Both Greg ‘Fossilman’ Raymer and Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson will join the not-for-profit organization, according to reports.
The PPA aims to promote the game of poker both domestically and internationally as well as maintaining its integrity and protecting it from too much government intervention.
Chris Feguson said: “The Poker Players Alliance’s mission to defend the integrity of poker makes the organization so critical in defeating attacks by congress and others.
“I look forward to becoming more involved in educating the public and lawmakers about our great game of poker and working to ensure that this American tradition is protected.”
Another poker pro who turned his hand to PPA management is Howard ‘The Professor’ Lederer who joined the board of directors just last month.
Michael Bolcerek, the president of the PPA, was upbeat about the appointments and the impact they would have on the 29,000 strong organization.
He said: “They are great ambassadors of the game and their reputations as poker professionals will provide the PPA with a wealth of knowledge and commitment as we continue to promote and protect poker.”
