PokerPro sends retired cop to WSOP

PokerPro and Carnival Cruise Lines have paired up to send retired NYPD officer and 9/11 responder Monty Berger to the World Series of Poker Main Event this July at the Rio. Berger won his seat in a PokerPro tournament aboard the Carnival Legend on April 9th, the beginning of PokerPro and Carnival's fleet-wide high-stakes tournament series.

Berger beat out a field of 50 players to take home the Main Event seat in the winner-take-all tournament. "I can't thank Carnival and PokerPro® enough for this opportunity. To play in this tournament is the ultimate achievement for a poker player, and I hope to play as well as I did aboard the Carnival Legend!" Berger will represent PokerPro at the WSOP Gaming Life Expo, joining Phil Laak and Antonio Esfandiari as they demonstrate the new PokerPro Heads-Up tables. Visitors to the PokerPro booth can also sign up to win one of two free Carnival Cruises to be given away at the Gaming Life Expo.
