Bluff Names Most Powerful People
In Poker
With a following of
hundreds of millions of players and enthusiasts world-wide,
Poker
is a powerful force in the world of entertainment.
Presidents, Kings, billionaires and leaders of industry play
the game, yet within the poker fraternity, there are
organisations and individuals whose influence overshadows
them all.
The Poker Power 20 is more
than a top earnings list for poker players, it recognises
and identifies who is shaping the game of poker today, and
providing direction for the Sport
into the future.
Last Year's Most Powerful
Person in was Doyle Brunson, who was chosen for his life's
commitment to furthering the game, for his contribution to
the education of its players through Super System and Super
System II and for being the one person the pros turn to
when they need advice.
In an excerpt, "Doyle was
a trailblazer back in the days when poker was a harsh and
unforgiving existence. Forever a devout and gentle man, he
spent his much of his life having to endure askance looks
from 'respectable' people, while being robbed and cheated by
disrespectable people. It is a testament to his
single-minded courage that, in this more enlightened day and
age, we are able to play poker in our cosy environments
without risking harassment, social ostracism or eternal
damnation."
This Year's Number One is
an organization that has left an indelible mark on the
future of the game and on the way the game of will be played
and has unearthed dark questions of human freedom and
individual choice. There is little doubt that the new
almighty has had a profound influence on the game of poker,
and its up to you to decide how it effects you.
