GPWA hangs tough in Freeroll
The GPWA gave PAW all it could handle before falling in Sunday's Absolute Poker sponsored GPWA vs. PAW freeroll. GPWA's bountied players outlasted PAW's, and our own JOKERSWILD9 finished third. PAW's CASHCHASERE grabbed the title. Many thanks to Absolute Poker affiliate manager Shenaz Shamji and the good folks at PAW who helped organize this fun and exciting event.

Polls now have their own forums!
We've moved all the polls into their own forums. The move, suggested by Nandakishore, received overwhelming GPWA member support. As Nandakishore said, "...the poll is a very effective, transparent and democratic instrument of GPWA for creating and circulating some very useful information." Thanks to our members, the polls now have their own home.

GPWA is excited to announce Gaming Income / Refer Income as a new sponsor. Gaming Income / Refer Income is pleased to be helping our industry grow as a new member of the GPWA community!
