Poker Battle Hoping To Command Poker Networking

A new ‘big player’ community website branded Poker Battle.com, this week announced its arrival with features like in-house multichannel video and audio, and a top market fashion line planned for September 2008.

The Poker community is driven by founder, expert French poker player and businessman Philippe Rouas, who is currently readying his ‘Poker Battle World Headquarters and Broadcast Studios’ in Las Vegas.

The international poker social networking scene is growing at a staggering pace, with a wide range of ‘poker lifestyle’ content, original reality-based shows featuring celebrities and poker players, game shows, online radio, podcasts, ‘available online only’ fashions, sitcoms, and movies.

Rouas has engaged with a number of well known online and land poker professionals such as Nenad Medic, Scotty Nguyen, Glen Chorny, Chris Ferguson, David Williams, Noah Schwartz, David “Chino” Rheem, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi, Rob Mizrachi, Eric Mizrachi, Evelyn Ng, Tiffany Michelle, Nam Le, Steve Song, Patryk Hildebranski, Johnny Chan, Jean Robert Bellande, Wayne and Emeline Boich, John Phan and Alan Smurfit.

Known as the “Poker Battle Warriors”, these players will ensure a high profile for the community site and its activities.

In addition, Rouas has more ambitious plans, among them a high stakes, five event Poker Battle Pro Tour, with work already in progress with the goal of a second quarter 2009 start in Las Vegas. Initial plans include the award of some hand-crafted platinum-and-precious-stones jewelry to the main event winner, together with a guaranteed winner’s prize of $5 million.

There is also a new online poker community site branded Poukker.com which is at a somewhat lower, but still interesting, level. Poukker.com invites poker fans to exchange stories and information through this online community/Twitter hybrid.

Players can choose to have their posts delivered to selected friends or to the entire network.
