PPA Member Sean Webb is helping the fight for poker with his film “Underground Home Game”

Underground Home Game is a new documentary film that is entering into production to follow a small group of poker players as they struggle to improve their play with their favorite game of skill.

Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) made waves at the 2007 World Series of Poker. He stepped into the Amazon Room on Day 1-D and was met with a mountain of applause. He came in support of the Skill Game Protection Act, known in the U.S. House of Representatives as H.R. 2610. The bill does something that should excite each and every person in the United States that enjoys playing online poker – It carves out an exemption for games of skill.
