Alexandre Dreyfus thinks really big.
He’s in the process of uniting what’s been a terribly fractured industry up until now, a mishmash of varied and often conflicting personal and corporate interests lacking unity on just about every issue that’s critical for growth. He’s become a truly transformational figure within our business who’s not only doing lots of good for poker, but is also striving to elevate the game’s global stature, thereby reconstructing our own ambitions with the same polished allure normally reserved for sports and popular entertainment.
Dreyfus, via the Global Poker Index (GPI), has already performed some really amazing deeds, particularly with his command of the European Poker Awards, which just completed its 13th year. Everyone who is anyone on the European poker scene attends the annual ceremony. Well, he’s now ready to bring similar enthusiasm and grandeur over to the United States, with a long-overdue concept to be called the “American Poker Awards.”
All I can say is — it’s about time.

James Woods says, “deal me in.”
The renowned actor and three-time Emmy winner will participate in “Poker Night in America’s” upcoming high-stakes cash game, taking place at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, January 16-19.
Woods, who is best known for his memorable film roles in The Onion Field, Once Upon a Time in America, Salvador, Nixon, Ghosts of Mississippi, Hercules, as well as the television series Shark, is a two-time Academy Award nominee. When he’s not working in front of the cameras, Woods can often be found playing poker in his spare time, one of his fondest passions. Given his strong political views, including a recent spat with Rev. Al Sharpton which made national headlines, Woods is sure to deliver another performance that’s well worth watching.

You don’t want to miss the debut of Season 2 of “Poker Night in America.”
With no more Monday Night Football, there’s no excuse not to tune in.
The first-ever ladies only cash game was filmed last month at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood/Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. An entire day of shooting produced nine thrilling hours of poker action, outrageous conversation (fortunately, some of which we can show), and plenty of laughs. Tonight’s program will be the first of what we hope will be multiple shows this season which are showcasing some of the top players in the world — who just so happen to be female.
