President Barack Obama to play the WSOP?
President Barack Obama met with WSOP commissioner Jeffrey Pollack and a handfull of poker players including Full Tilt Poker pro Andy Bloch tonight inside Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. The President was given a WSOP jacket with his name stiched on the back and was invited to play in the World Series of Poker.

The President then went on to give a speech to a sold out crowd inside the Caesars Colosseum.

It's well known that President Obama is a very skilled poker player. We doubt the President will find time to play, but it would be great for him to swing by and annouce the start of a tournament.

This is a good sign for U S poker players. A president that enjoys playing poker can only help the movement to free up online poker for all Americans.

Obama
Interesting I did not know he played poker. Maybe that's a good thing for us so he can find a way to tax our winnings and make online poker leagal in all the US.
