Judge Denies Pro Players� Motion Against WPTE

In the antitrust lawsuit brought against WPT Enterprises by seven pro poker players, United States District Judge Otis D. Wright II denied the Motion for Summary Judgment filed on 14 March 2007, by plaintiffs Chris Ferguson, Andrew Bloch, Annie Duke, Joseph Hachem, Phil Gordon, Howard Lederer, and Greg Raymer.

WPTE filed an Opposition to Plaintiffs� Motion on 12 April 2007, to which the plaintiffs filed a Reply Brief.

After review of the parties� submissions, as well as the arguments advanced by counsel at a hearing on 14 May, the court on 22 May 22 denied the plaintiffs� Motion for Summary Judgment.

�We are very pleased with Judge Wright�s order denying the Motion for Summary Judgment,� said WPTE�s General Counsel, Adam Pliska. �We feel that this decision confirms our contention that this case is without merit.�
