The parent company of popular poker TV program World Poker Tour has come under fire recently in an antitrust suit filed against them by seven big name poker pros. WPTE Inc has been accused of violating antitrust ideals by forcing poker players to sign agreements that would allow the company to use their likeness and images in derivative media, such as video games, without giving the players the chance to negotiate.
The players named in the lawsuit include Andy Bloch, Phil Gordon, Chris Ferguson, Howard Lederer, and the three most recent World Series of Poker Champions, Joe Hachem from 2005, Greg Raymer from 2004, and Chris Moneymaker from 2003. Raymer, a former attorney, says he plans on losing money on this case, but intends for it to set a precedent for all poker players.
