D'Amato to participate in PPA Webcast

5 April 2007

By Aaron Todd

Former Senator Alfonse D'Amato will participate in a video Webcast with the Poker Players Alliance next Thursday.

D'Amato, who signed on as chairman of the PPA a month ago, will update members on what the PPA is doing to fight for online poker players' rights. He'll also answer questions from viewers during the interview. Questions can be e-mailed to AskAl@pokerplayersalliance.org.

Since D'Amato joined the PPA, membership has more than doubled to nearly 320,000. The organization has set a goal of increasing membership to one million.

The Webcast will be hosted by WebEx and take place on Thursday, April 12 at 3 p.m. EST. You must register by Tuesday, April 10 to participate. Registration form

During his time away from his Casino City reporter's desk, home-game hot shot Aaron Todd plays in a weekly poker game with his friends in the Boston area. While he is happy to play Texas Hold'em, he'd rather mix it up and include lesser-known games such as Omaha Hi/Lo, Razz, and (his personal favorite) Deuce-to-Seven Triple Draw, in the rotation of games.

After graduating from St. Lawrence University in 2000, Aaron worked in media relations for college athletic departments. When he grew tired of long nights and weekends watching college sports in leaky press boxes, he decided to spend long nights and weekends watching professional card players in stuffy poker rooms.

A native of a small town in New York just south of Ottawa, Aaron lives in Norwood, MA, with his wife Wendy. Write to Aaron at aarontodd@casinocity.com.
