WPT Hires Magician

The pro poker player known as "the Magician" has been hired to work some magic for the World Poker Tour. Antonio Esfandiari, who was a pro magician before he became a pro poker player, was hired once before by the WPT to perform magic with cards and coins, and has been hired once more to perform a different kind of magic. Esfandiari will be the official spokesman for the "WPT Poker-Made Millionaire" segment of the company, representing the 84 players who have earned a million dollars or more on the World Poker Tour, which routinely pays out at least a million dollars to winners of their various events.
