Professional poker player Matt Vengrin was taking a break from holding Kings and Queens to help crown the next Miss California Teen USA. The Absolute Poker pro had been a celebrity judge in the recent Miss California Teen USA Pageant 2009. 

Some guys have all the luck!

As a poker player, I know how fierce competition can be. Just like playing in the World Series of Poker, these girls are in for a grueling but fun weekend and I’m excited to be an integral part of the experience.

Poker Pro Matt Vengrin

Matt Vengrin is one of online poker’s most successful young poker players. In a little over two years, the 24-year-old has won nearly $2 million playing poker at Absolute Poker, a number of other sites and at land-based casinos. In 2009 alone, the online poker pro has amassed six top 10 finishes in several popular online poker tournaments, including a 1st place finish in a recent No Limit Hold’em event for $61,600 in February and a 2nd place finish in a $100k tournament for $21,327 in January.

 Most recently, Vengrin finished strong in the Main Event of the 2009 Aruba Poker Classic, a $5,500 No Limit Hold’em tournament held at the Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino. Vengrin collected $13,820 for his 27th place finish.


Being surrounded by beautiful women is anything but foreign to Vengrin. The poker professional sits alongside Lacey Jones, one of the hottest women in poker, on Absolute Poker’s team of pros. Most recently, Reality TV bombshell Trishelle signed on as Absolute Poker’s celebrity endorser, making the team even more attractive. 
Online poker players at AbsolutePoker.com can employ the online poker site’s free Absolute Buddy software to discover where Matt Vengrin is seated. He will be featured in red text while playing at Absolute Poker’s tables under the name vengmoney.

Former New York Senator Alfonse D’Amato has recently put out a request for interested parties to step forward into a leadership role by becoming state directors for the Poker Player’s Alliance (PPA), and building momentum in the United States to bring about fair and beneficial change in how online poker is legally classified. Former senator D’Amato is the chairman of the PPA, and an avid poker player.

A Message from PPA chairman Alfonse D’Amato

Happy New Year! Please read this important email. Poker needs you!

2008 will be a critical year for poker. The success and momentum we built together in 2007 must continue into a more vocal and mobilized grassroots efforts this year. We cannot move forward without broad support and active involvement from our members. With that in mind, I am pleased to extend to you an invitation to become a State Director for the Poker Players Alliance.

I can tell you from my own political experience that there is no more important mission for the PPA than to have a strong, vocal and coordinated grassroots effort. With 2008 being a major election year, it is even more pressing that the PPA become a player in the key battleground states and districts.

We are taking steps to empower our State Directors. Currently we have state directors in 30 states, but this important component of our organization will not be complete until every state in the Union is fully represented. State Directors are volunteer positions. You will not be compensated monetarily for your work; however, neither will you be expected to incur any expenses of your own. We are expanding the program so that there are multiple representatives from each state. And then, with guidance and support from the PPA, State Directors will engage in activities at the local and national level that are aimed at building the organization while promoting and defending the great game of poker.

These activities will include:

• Training from grassroots professionals who will teach you grassroots tactics and share ideas
• Active recruitment of new PPA members
• Direct communications with the thousands of PPA members in your state
• Organizing local events/poker tournaments to promote the PPA and/or raise monies for charity
• Participation in local political events and arranging meetings between poker players and elected officials
• Engaging in PPA national initiatives such as our planned voter registration campaign

PPA State Directors will also receive access to special events planned for the 2008 World Series of Poker and in Washington D.C. You will also be given recognition on the PPA Web site and in leading poker publications. State Directors will be the frontline in the fight for poker. Your fellow poker players will know you are a leader in the fight to protect the great game.
If you are interested in becoming more actively involved in the PPA, please apply today to be a State Director by filling out this simple online application (click here). Current PPA State Directors needn’t apply again. The submission period ends on Monday, January 28th. The PPA will review all applications and selections will be made in early February.

Again, a strong a viable State Directors program will be a major thrust of the PPA’s efforts in 2008. I hope you will consider applying for these important positions.

Proud to Play Poker,
Alfonse D’Amato, Chairman
Poker Players Alliance
