The Poker Players Alliance (PPA), a grassroots organization of 29,000 American poker players, has announced that world-renowned poker and WSOP champions Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson and Greg 'Fossilman' Raymer have joined the PPA Board of Directors.
'Chris and Greg will be tremendous additions to our Board,' said Michael Bolcerek, president of the Poker Players Alliance. 'They are great ambassadors of the game and their reputations as poker professionals will provide the PPA with a wealth of knowledge and commitment as we continue to promote and protect poker.'
Ferguson and Raymer will be joining other prestigious PPA Board members including Linda Johnson, Howard Lederer, Greg Dinkin, Mary Magazine and Jan Fisher.
In April of this year, Ferguson and Raymer, along with the PPA and fellow poker professional Howard Lederer, visited Capitol Hill and met with members of Congress to educate them about the game of poker and why attempts to ban the game online are misguided.
In accepting his position on the Board, Ferguson said, 'The PPA’s mission to defend the integrity of poker makes the organization critical in defeating attacks by Congress and others.”
'All poker players should join the PPA and unite behind our common goal of protecting this game we love,' added Raymer.
