The National Poker Week is a combined initiative by the Poker Players' Alliance and a couple of politicians: congress woman Rep. Shelley Berkley and former Senator Alfonse D'Amato, chairman of the PPA.
At today's press conference in The Rio All Suites Hotel, Rep. Shelley Berkley, Alfonse D'Amato and PPA Executive Director John Pappas as well as a number of poker professionals are present to discuss the initiative.
