The next generation online poker product was recently launched in other countries and is now brought to New Jersey integrating great new features into real money gaming.
In a significant move for US poker and a sign of the rise of New Jersey in the poker world one of the most famous and prestigious events in poker is moving from Las Vegas to Atlantic City and the Borgata in April 2014. The $15,400 entry partypoker WPT World Championship will see anyone over 21-years-old in New Jersey able to qualify online to take their seat with the most famous names in the game on television. It will also see an influx of poker-s biggest names head to Atlantic City.
The WPT opportunities are just a taste of what will be provided by partypoker, however, who look to cater for players at all levels from the total novice to the expert. Three New Jersey locals will represent partypoker in the state.
First up is Jamie Kerstetter, a 31-year-old former tax attorney from Monroe who is moving back to New Jersey from Mexico now that she is able to play online poker again. “The live casinos in Atlantic City win from this. They will attract players who might have been intimidated to sit down at a live table while the online rooms and partypoker, for example, will be qualifying people to events in New Jersey from all over the world and driving new customers to the casinos,” said Kerstetter.
25-year-old Bobby Oboodi from Morris Plains also joins the team and has won two recent big events at the Borgata, including a WPT, netting a seven figure score. Bobby-s life has changed irreversibly since his days as a pre-med student and working in his local Subway. “It-s not just gym, tan, laundry now – there-s poker as well,” Bobby joked. Making up the three is former NYC share trader 27-year-old Scott Baumstein, who is leaving the Big Apple to come to Atlantic City to play online.
