The past two years have been tremendous for us and the support of our players has been phenomenal. It is always heartwarming returning to where it all began." Says, Hal Coblentz, SPT Vice President.

"Our focus is on continuing to develop the brand. We not only will develop the brand in new local markets but in new media outlets as well. We want to bring poker back to mainstream television and feature not only a market segment that people can relate to, but players as well." Added Hal Coblentz.
