What�s on the WSOP�s Cards?

The historic Bicycle � brand playing cards may be better known than �The United States Playing Card Company� (USPC) which produces them. However, the USPC has been selected by Harrah�s Entertainment, to supply the World Series of poker with its new Poker Peek � cards.

While this decision is subject to regulatory approval, the three-year agreement, will introduce the Poker Peek face style. The cards will be printed on KEM� brand card stock, with a special Bicycle-inspired card-back.

�As part of this proposed agreement, every table of every World Series of Poker bracelet event will be supplied � every day � with a fresh setup of premier quality KEM cards from USPC,� said Jeffrey Pollack, commissioner of the WSOP.

Rob Clendening, brand manager for the Bicycle brand added, �This is a fun moment in history to bring the 120-year heritage of the Bicycle brand to the most prestigious poker tournament in the world.�

The company also announced that the cards used during the WSOP will be the inspiration for a new deck available to the public later this year.
