The World Poker Store, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: WPKS), an international
entertainment company, announces the expansion of The Bar Poker
League to The Netherlands. The World Poker Store has entered into
an agreement with Play It Simpel, creator of the popular poker
reality TV show "Poker Kampioen Van Nederland." Under the
agreement, an existing Play It Simpel poker league in The
Netherlands will convert to The Bar Poker League, owned by The
World Poker Store. The conversion will happen in February 2009. The
league operated by Play It Simpel began running Texas Hold'em
tournaments throughout The Netherlands in early 2008, and has
rapidly grown to over 200 venues and 200,000 registered players.
League members play for the opportunity to appear on Play It
Simpel's reality TV show and be crowned the poker champion of The
Netherlands.
Under the agreement, Play It Simpel will also create a poker
reality TV show from The Bar Poker League in Germany. The show will
follow a similar format where league members play for the
opportunity to appear on a reality TV show and be crowned The Poker
Champion of Germany.
Chuck Chastain, CEO of The World Poker Store, commented, "Our
agreement with Play It Simpel is a springboard to rapid growth for
The Bar Poker League in Europe. Adding an established and rapidly
growing league in The Netherlands and a TV show to our German
league, which begins play next month, will establish The Bar Poker
League as the preeminent league in all of Europe."
