SUNPOKER SIGNS POKER SUPERSTAR KENNA JAMES
Willemstad, Curacao—April 24, 2006 - - SunPoker.com is proud
to announce the signing of poker superstar Kenna James to become
the face and spokesperson of the brand. Kenna will serve as the
captain of "Team SunPoker", and as such will be on a mission to
teach
every player under the "Sun" how to play better poker.
Kenna will host a special "Kenna's Korner" table on Thursday
evenings
at www.SunPoker.com at 9:00 PM (schedule permitting), where
members of "Team SunPoker" (players that have qualified for any land
based event through SunPoker.com) will be able to play and chat with
Kenna to pick his brain as to how to improve their game.
In addition to his role as captain of “Team SunPoker,” Kenna will
represent SunPoker in tournament play. Kenna will proudly wear the
SunPoker logo, and a percentage of his winnings will be donated,
along
with a matching sum from SunPoker, to selected charities.
“Kenna is the perfect choice to be our poker ambassador,” says Adam
Smirnis, Poker Room Manager, SunPoker.com. “His knowledge and
passion for the game, coupled with a personality that has made him a
huge fan favorite, will enable Kenna to truly help SunPoker players
and
all fans of the game understand and play poker like a professional.”
Kenna has emerged as one of the top players in the world right now,
currently ranked second in the Bluff Magazine’s “Who’s Hot Power
Rankings.”
Winning over two million dollars in major tournaments around the
world,
Kenna is considered one of the top pros on the Professional Poker
Tour
today. Equally as important, Kenna is recognized as one of the most
approachable and well-liked players in the world.
“It has always been my desire to find a way to give back to the game
that
has been so good to me,” says James. “I was never one to look for
and take
advantage of the weaker "fish" in the game, but rather I always
looked to
elevate my game by playing against the best. SunPoker’s commitment
to
teaching the game, as well providing one of the best places on the
Internet
to learn, play and win, makes us an ideal team.”
SunPoker.com is currently in the midst of a year-long, nationwide
tour to
teach America how to play poker like the pros. Featuring a fully
customized
RV with a live poker room, SunPoker is on a mission to teach America
how
to play and win at poker. Players will have a chance to improve
their poker
skills and possibly win a seat at the 2006 World Series of Poker. As
part of
his role as captain of “Team SunPoker,” Kenna will make occasional
appearances at tour stops to meet fans and help them better learn
the game.
