A PokerStars Conference Call: The Creation of the European Poker Tour (EPT)

I worked for PokerStars.com for nearly three years.  I served as the company’s Director of Communications between 2004-2006.  Until now, I have written and said very little about my time spent with PokerStars.  This was largely out of respect for the confidentially of the company and those I worked with closely during those years.  However, the recent sale of the company by the Scheinberg Family allows me now to be more candid about what I did, and the activities I observed.  Today marks the ten-year anniversary of the following telephone conference call, which essentially created the European Poker Tour (EPT).
