Skilled Poker Player Barack Obama gets Support from Players
July 8, 2008, 9:08 am (3 years ago)The Poker Players’ Alliance, a non-profit organization trying to beat the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act (UIGEA), now the number of the members are over one million and has backed the presidential hopeful Barack Obama, who is by the way a skilled Texas Hold‘em and Seven-Card Stud player.
Doyle ‘Texas Dolly’ Brunson, World Series of Poker bracelet-winner for ten times and known as one of the best poker players in the world, was a Republican for his 74 years before changing his political commitment to support Obama and the Democrats.
World-renowned player Andy Bloch, part of the well-known MIT blackjack team and second best in the inaugural $50,000 Championship H.O.R.S.E. event, showed that most poker players are supporting Obama.
