Look for some party crashers too, like Phil Laak, Antonio Esfandiari and more This should be fun for everyone!
21 January 2010 ( London , UK ) - After months of speculation as to the identity of the star co-host at the iGB Affiliate Awards, it has finally been revealed that this is none other than Phil ‘The Unabomber’ Laak. The notorious gambler shot to fame at the World Poker Tour Championship in 2004 and has since dominated countless tournaments, having made his name as a ‘loose cannon’ on the poker table, and as a winning personality off it. This and his recent endeavours in the world of online Gambling, through the launch this month of UnabomberPoker.com via the Cake Network, makes him the perfect co-host for a night celebrating the best in online gaming.
“Phil Laak is legendary for knowing how to have a good time and I’m sure we’ll create some great and entertaining chemistry on stage”, Michael Caselli, Editor of iGaming Business and principal host for the nights frivolities asserted. “With the launch of his new site he is sure to become a welcome staple in the world of online gambling and this is the perfect way to introduce him to the movers and shakers of this industry.”
The Unabomber, never one for doing things halfway, is not coming alone however, bringing with him some other recognizable figures, such as Dan Fleishman and Andrew Robl both rising stars in the professional Poker Circuit. However his most anticipated guest is none other than his partner-in-crime, friend and opponent Antonio Esfandiari. The debonair ‘magician’ is renowned for his sleight of hand and impressive card skills, which won him his first World Series of Poker bracelet in 2004. The night’s event will have to be closely watched to see if Antonio has any aces up his sleeves.
Phil Laak will have quite the audience on the night, impressing his peers, but perhaps unaware that a couple of superstars will be watching from the wings, namely the Godfather and the Prince of Poker. Doyle Brunson will be there representing his online brands DoylesRoom.com and DoylesCasino.com, whilst Scotty Nguyen as brand ambassador for Expekt.com will no doubt live up to his hell-raising reputation. Unbelievably these bands of merry poker playing men have amassed over an astonishing $22.7 million between them in tournament winnings.
The event organisers, iGB Affiliate, must be stunned by the spectacular support the 3rd Annual iGB Affiliate Awards seem to be attracting, are there any gaming personalities that aren’t attending this glamorous bash? The evening, to be held at the Grange St Paul’s Hotel on Thursday 28th January, will certainly be awash with the igaming elite.

Doyle Brunson will be attending the London Affiliate 2010 Conference!
12 January 2010 (London UK) - Doyle Brunson made an exciting announcement earlier today by confirming his attendance at the now renowned London Affiliate Conference (LAC), to be held at Old Billingsgate between 29th-31st January. Following the anticipation his presence stirred at the Budapest Conference last year, the event organizers iGB Affiliate, greeted this fantastic news with delight.
“Doyle Brunson is a great crowd pleaser and is always hugely popular with affiliates and operators alike”, Alex Pratt, Director of iGB Affiliate commented. “It’s a fantastic bonus to have him return to our event and to know that he not only finds real value in attending but that he equally enjoys the fun aspects of his stay with us.”
The ‘fun aspects’ are no doubt referring to the fact that the Godfather of Poker will be attending the official networking parties as well as making an appearance at the iGB Affiliate Awards this year, which launch LAC on the evening of the 28th at the glamorous Grange St Paul’s Hotel. The real question however, is what value does his presence bring to the affiliates themselves? What can they expect from the great man?
“Doyle is very aware that affiliates are the lifeblood of this industry”, Will Griffiths President of Doylesroom.com and Doylescasino.com explains. “He is here to meet and reward the affiliates, present and future, who will continue to grow Doyle’s online presence to what, is now the most trusted casino and the preeminent poker website for real live game play.”
One of these exclusive rewards, created especially for LAC, is a competition, where the lucky affiliate who generates the most revenue up to 15th January will win two nights at the lavish 5* Dorchester Hotel, a signed autobiography and dinner with Doyle Brunson at the iGB Affiliate Awards. The chance to talk to the poker legend one-on-one for a whole evening is a chance hard to come by and highly coveted by everyone in the industry. However for those not fortunate enough to be in a position to win, it has been leaked that he will also be handing out special signed autobiographies of his exceptional life, at the Doylesroom Stand to all Doylesroom and DoylesCasino Affiliates, in recognition of their hard work for 2010.
“We had a blast at BAC”, the Texas Dolly said. “I fully intent on continuing our success at these events, and maybe even play a few hands of pokers and join in the fun”. To meet the legend, simply go to www.londonaffiliateconference.com and register. If you are an affiliate, then this once in a lifetime chance comes to you completely free. Pending the question what’ you waiting for?
