I would like to let you all know that we have added Tony Kendall (left) to our team for the land based qualifiers. We wanted someone to compere/host the events and needed a figure that both the pros and amateurs respected and felt comfy with, a kind of poker icon that is revered by everyone... unfortunately Barny Boatman was unavailable...
