Poker eyes Olympic games list
An online gaming operator Full-Tilt Poker, inspired with an idea to include the card game in the list of Olympic games, initiated a new site entitled "Poker in Athens." According to Dailynews.com, the company also promoted the idea with fliers at an AVP beach volleyball event in Hermosa Beach.
While Olympic organizers are finishing building venues for the Games and the TV schedule has already been settled, the company’s enthusiasts don’t abandon their hope to embody their plan.
"We'd be completely low maintenance. We don't need our own Parthenon. Hell, if they'll let us in the games, I'll bring my own arena. Cards, chips, even my buddy Frank's card table. Just lather that sucker up with some spackle, and BOOM - instant Greek poker table," claimed someone named Bruno Nutt of "Poker in Athens" at the website.
The network plans to carry 1,210 hours on five channels between Friday and Aug. 29 to cover Olympics. So that, the company only requires a period from Friday's opening ceremonies through Monday, Aug. 16 in order to perform the event.
The company claims the reward for the game is to be a trip to the 2006 Winter Games in Italy and a new high-def home theatre.
