The March issue of the publication Bluff will make for interesting industry reading, containing as it does the Bluff Power 20 list; an annual assessment of the main movers and shakers in the online poker business.
The list is compiled by a select and independent group of industry experts who are polled each year for their opinions.
Not surprisingly, Pokerstars owners Mark and Isai Scheinberg head the list as the drivers of a company that has become renowned for its innovative and dynamic approach to business and its domination of the online poker industry.
Other respected and well-known names on the list include Mitch Garber of Caesars Interactive Entertainment; Bwin.Party’s confrontational chief Norbert Teufelberger; opinionated player Daniel Negreanu; Senate Majority Leader and Nevada senator Harry Reid, despite his failure to drive legalisation through Congress; Ty Stewart from WSOP; corporate mogul, philanthropist and player of note Guy Laliberte; affiliate king Dominik Kofert; big-earning player Antonio Esfandiari; tournament director and veteran player Matt Savage; online gambling legislator Ray Lesniak of New Jersey and many more.
