Poker Club Management

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Poker Club Management is a team of like-minded persons which history of formation dates back in the 90s of the past century. Beneath our eyes and with our direct participation poker made its first cautious steps in Russia to become a big and successful industry over the years. Due to its diligent, persistent and strenuous work our company has reached the level that enables us to declare that Poker Club Management is the most professional team of poker managers in the entire former Soviet Union. All Poker Club Management members carefully approach to fulfillment of tasks set before them to achieve the maximum efficient result. Calling ourselves professionals we speak of a wealth of experience accumulated over the years of work, knowledge and skills we gain every day.

When in July 2009 poker had been excluded from the list of sports in the Russian Federation we did not loose faith in what we were doing but continued developing both the company and poker in general. Now we transferred our projects to the countries where poker is legal and so entered the international market. The company has chosen several basic directions:

- Organization of tournaments outside the Russian Federation for gamblers from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia and other countries of the former Soviet Union as well as for gamblers from Italy, Greece, Lebanon and some other countries. Those tournaments form PCM TOUR series (www.pcmtour.com) that include our already popular tournaments Red Sea Poker Cup (www.redseapokercup.com) held in Egypt twice a year and Mediterranian Poker Cup (www.mediterranianpokercup.com) held in the Mediterranean countries (Malta, Cyprus etc.).

- Opening poker clubs in CIS countries, Egypt, Cyprus and other countries where poker is legal and popular.

- Sale and production of poker equipment for playing at home. In order to implement particularly this direction we have developed a new brand - Poker Place - professional equipment for home playing (www.pokerplace.ru).

We arrange the play for you at the professional level which we improve constantly. There are a lot of pleasant surprises waiting for you in 2010. Our major task is to provide pleasant leisure for you and qualitative play at poker table.

There are many well-known people in the poker industry among our friends, including Jeffrey Lissandro, one of the best players in the world, who won three WSOP golden bracelets at once in 2009 and became the fifth player in the history of poker who reached such success during one season. He is the one with whom and in whose team Artur Voskanyan, Director of Poker Club Management, has worked for a long time.

History

Our involvement with poker in Russia goes back to 1995, a time when the only game in town was five card stud played in a few casinos run by operators, mainly foreigners, who would take large percentages from games that consisted of players that had as much idea of how play as they had about what was a reasonable charge for commission. The honesty factor took second place in an environment where the greatest crime one could commit would be to get caught.Our team of dealers/Supervisors and Managers have worked to provide an honest and professional games of the highest standard. In 2004 we made a televised poker tournament, a three day invitation event with production crew from Latvia under the direction of the UK TV producer Andy Oram. The following year we made a ‘shoot out’ Texas tournament aimed specifically at the Russian market.
Our other achievements include the ten table seven day East Europe Poker Championships in January 2006. Russian Winter and the Russian Summer Poker Tournaments, both events were twelve table/seven day events directed by Thomas Kremser.
