Shuffle Up And Deal!
There was a special guest today to announce "shuffle up and deal" to the poker players in attendance for this event. Congressman Joe Barton from Texas' 6th congressional district came out to show his support for the game and reassure poker players that there is hope for the eventual return of online poker to the United States.
Barton urged players to join the Poker Players Alliance and continue to fight for the rights of poker players.
As a thunderous applause for Barton subsided, cards were officially in the air for this massive bracelet event.
