Weekly Update from Rich Muny, VP of Player Relations
Saturday’s New England Town Hall was a great success. We thank everyone who volunteered their time and effort to make this happen!
PPA Executive Director John Pappas, Director of Grassroots and External Affairs Drew Lesofski, Litigation Support Network Director & Board Member Patrick Fleming, MA State Director Dan Brown, CT State Director Chad Lehofer, VT State Director Dave Sawyer, and I met many great, active poker players at the event. We shared all that PPA is doing and engaged in a terrific dialog on the big issues. The town hall event was followed by a charity poker tournament that benefited ALS research.

Poker lost a great ambassador this week…
It is with great sadness that I share the news that poker pro, author, and webcast host Lou Krieger lost his fight with cancer earlier this week. He was a great force within the poker community and a terrific advocate for the game. We appeared on each others’ webcasts a few times. He was a class act and a true ambassador for the game who will be greatly missed.
