Dream Team Poker to Hold Event at the 2009 World Series of Poker

BEVERLY HILLS, CA and LAS VEGAS, NV, May 19 (MARKET
WIRE) --
Dream Team Poker(TM) has taken the industry by storm in the few short
months since their inaugural event. Giving team-based poker validation
with their successful structure, Dream Team Poker will host a tournament
at the 2009 World Series of Poker(R). The event will be held at the
Rio(R) All-Suite Hotel & Casino from July 12-13, 2009 with the buy-in of
$500 + $60 per player ($1,680 per team). The first 300 teams that
pre-register on www.dreamteampoker.com will receive personalized jerseys
for the tournament.

"After seeing the terrific response to the recent Dream Team Poker
tournaments in Las Vegas, we thought a team-based event would be a fun
addition to the end of the WSOP," said Jeffrey Pollack, WSOP Commissioner.
"The Dream Team Poker event is one of the many new elements added in 2009
that will help make this summer a memorable one for all WSOP players and
fans."

Dream Team Poker has quickly gained traction and saw significant growth
in the past six months alone. The speed of progression that Dream Team
Poker experienced can be attributed to the two successful events held in
November 2008 and March 2009. The invitation-only opening event was
sold-out within weeks and was attended by top pros and celebrities. The
most recent event at Caesars Palace garnered record attention from the
media, professionals and average players, who turned out by the dozens to
play. The tournament sold out the Caesars poker room with 148 teams and
444 players.

"The WSOP and the Rio have really shown their commitment to the players in
continuing to innovate and try new concepts," said Daniel Delshad, CEO of
Dream Team Gaming. "Bringing our brand to the Rio during the WSOP and onto
the most hollowed ground in the sport is a powerful way to introduce Dream
Team Poker to the world."

Dream Team Poker has added a new dimension to the poker industry with
their patent-pending team-based tournament structure. It brings a new
layer of competition and strategy to the game of poker while providing
team-based and individual prize pools for the players.

Dream Team Poker will have a booth outside of the Amazon Room throughout
the World Series of Poker. Staff will also be on hand to answer questions
about the tournament and to explain the rules and structure.

About Dream Team Poker

Dream Team Poker is a new "team-based" structure and scoring system for
tournament poker. Dream Team Poker's patent-pending scoring system allows
players to compete on an individual basis while getting scored as a team,
giving each player better odds and chances to win money as they compete
for individual and team prizes. Casinos benefit from Dream Team Poker's
structure as players have new incentives to stay at the property after
busting out, resulting in longer hotel reservations, more meals eaten at
casino restaurants, and general increase on property, which generates more
side play revenue.

Founded in 2007, Dream Team Poker is growing rapidly and licensing its
tournament structure to many of the nation's largest and popular casinos.
It is the first gaming product developed by Dream Team Gaming, a privately
held company headquartered in Beverly Hills, CA. For more information,

World Series of Poker

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the largest, richest and most
prestigious gaming event in the world awarding millions of dollars in
prize money and the prestigious gold bracelet, globally recognized as the
sport's top prize. Featuring a comprehensive slate of tournaments in
every major poker variation, the WSOP is poker's longest running
tournament in the world, dating back to 1970. In 2008, the event
attracted 58,720 entrants from 124 different countries to the Rio
All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and awarded over $180 million in
prize money. The creation of the new delayed Main Event final table more
than doubled ratings on ESPN year over year. The WSOP in December, 2008
was named the 7th most admired sports brand in North America by the
Turnkey Sports Survey, trailing only the older and more established NFL,
MLB, NBA, NHL, NASCAR and PGA Tour among sports properties. In addition,
the WSOP has experienced groundbreaking alliances in broadcasting,
digital media and corporate sponsorships, while successfully expanding
the brand internationally with the advent in 2007 of the World Series of
Poker Europe(SM). For more information on the World Series of Poker,
