23 October 2008

"We're making it easier than ever for poker players to invest in their poker game and become winning players with our Play Now, Pay Later program," said Jeff Goldenberg of Post Oak Productions, the company that produces the WSOP Academy. "Our WSOP Academy events this November will feature some of the biggest names in poker sharing their secrets and strategies.
