The Poker Players Alliance announced today that it will be relocating its headquarters from San Francisco to Washington D.C. as it continues to focus its efforts on lobbying at the federal level. The transition will occur over the next several weeks. At the same time, the PPA announced that President Michael Bolcerek has stepped down from that post, and will remain in the San Francisco Bay Area with his family to pursue other opportunities.
Bolcerek's role as a public face for the PPA, along with former Senator Alfonse D'Amato, the PPA's chairman, will be filled by John Pappas. Pappas had been a Washington-based, outside lobbyist for the PPA before joining the organization full-time in May as the PPA's Vice President of Government Affairs. |

A regional poker challenge already operating in Tennessee and Portland, Oregon has suffered a setback in its plans to begin a third regional series of events in Little Rock, Arkansas. The Memphis-originated National Poker Challenge was forced to cancel two weekends of events beginning August 18th after local officials questioned the legality of the operation.
According to Little Rock's city attorney, Tom Carpenter, the NPC's Arkansas event. would be a violation of that state's gambling laws, under a clause banning the risking of money between two or more persons, on a contest or chance, where one must be the loser and the other a winner --- despite the fact that entry into the NPC event's themselves was free. At issue may have been the NPC's charging of a $100 "subscription" fee to be part of a league consisting of several different tracking categories and eligibility for many of the prizes. |
