WSOP - World Series of Poker
Now the PPA and its poker-playing membership will instead salute Frank as the Congressman most concerned with protecting their freedom, giving him star status at the WSOP. The PPA is also collecting signatures from all the online players to help support the bill. If you have not sign the petition yet you can do so at Full Tilt or PokerStars and they will give a ticket to a special event just for signing.
Representative Barney Frank will be the guest of honor this weekend at the World Series of Poker. Sunday July 5, 2009 Independence Day weekend, Frank will answer questions from reporters at a one o'clock press conference, and will begin the poker tournament by announcing the traditional "shuffle up and deal" pronouncement to start the day's competition.

Frank is supporting his online casino regulation bill, which had been scheduled for hearings this week before Frank's House Financial Services Committee. But the hearing has been postponed until at least September, due to the overwhelming amount of legislation before the committee regarding the economic crisis.
"We'll get it done," Frank has commented on the worries the bill may be shelved by legislative time constraints. Meanwhile, the Poker Players Association (PPA) had planned a week celebrating poker, with players flying to D.C. to stand behind the Internet gambling bill.
