“We worked late into the evening inking this deal,” noted Mr. Trevor Holewinski. “We hope our readers take advantage of this special offer and see for themselves how enjoyable the WPT Poker Magazine is to read.”

The World Poker Tour is one of the biggest poker tours in America and is rapidly expanding its presence in Europe. WPT Poker Magazine is the only magazine to be officially endorsed by the World Poker Tour and currently has both a UK and US editions that consist of 13 issues a year. The magazine is filled to the brim with poker strategy, exclusive freerolls and interviews with the top poker players at the hottest events.

PokerPlasm is pleased to offer a free 1 issue trial to WPT Poker Magazine which UK and US residents can receive by filling out the form on this special landing page.

“In these tough economic times,” stated Mr. Trevor Holewinski, Chief Executive Officer of PokerPlasm, Inc., “with higher transportation costs, dwindling advertisement sales, and a declining U.S readership, we had to make a cost analysis move. But let me be clear, PokerPlasm.com will still be functional and provide readers with the same high quality articles, interviews, and tips you have come to expect.”

The statement came as a shock to the poker community, especially after Mr. Holewinski’s $4.85 million purchase of a 5,000 square foot beachfront home in the Cayman Islands.

The future of PokerPlasm sponsored poker tournaments, like the Shut The Jester Up Series, the PokerPlasm Olympics, and the PokerPlasm Heads-Up Tourney were not mentioned in the statement, but most analysts feel they could be in jeopardy.

Both magazines were printed monthly since October 2005. The company is privately held so no financial statements have been made public.
