Eight top poker professionals have agreed to advise
WSOP management
World Series of Poker top management will be receiving top quality
and extensively experienced player advice from eight poker professionals
who have agreed to join a new International Players Advisory Council.
The purpose of the Council will be to consult with World Series
of Poker management on ways to enhance the player experience for
registrants who come from outside North America.
Among the players who have accepted inaugural terms on the committee
are former World Series of Poker Main Event champion Joe Hachem,
along with Andrew Black, Ben Roberts, Donnacha O’Dea, Gus
Hansen, Isabelle Mercier, Marcel Luske and Willie Tann.
Internationally recognized poker player and business executive
Wendeen Eolis has agreed to serve as the chairwoman of the new council,
and Jeffrey Pollack, Commissioner of the World Series of Poker,
is the executive chairman.
“More and more players are coming from outside the United
States, while at the same time we are expanding our reach with new
international events,” said Pollack. “This council will
help us better address the unique needs of our global players. Our
goal is to have a clear communications process and give everyone
new perspectives to consider."
The 2007 World Series of Poker Presented by Milwaukee’s Best
