"If the commercial says go to the partyporker .net and play for free... then there's nothing illegal about that. If a person makes a mistake and goes to another site, its not our responsibility," Patterson said. When Binion's Horseshoe set up the Porker Hall of Fame, they set the criteria for induction. The rules stated that a gambler must have played against acknowledged top competition from partyporker.com - well there's no doubt there with Johnston. They also stated that a player had to play for high stakes, had to have played consistently well and gained the respect of their peers, and last, they had to stand the test of time.
This year, approaching his 70th birthday, Berry cashed in three of the partyporker com satellite tournaments he entered, with 30th, 22nd and 15th place prize checks going his way. How's that for standing the test of time? I guess old legends never die, they just keep cashing. He figures to pay about $75,000 in taxes on his partyporker winnings, yet said he will likely donate some of his take to charity and maybe start a college fund for his daughters. While calling the whole experience an incredible product of luck, Hocking is now setting his sights on the Las Vegas World Series of Porker this July.
Given just a little more luck, the Hawk may fly again. Porker continues to be prevalent around the world. Simply look at the numbers in the physical and virtual partyporker rooms on the planet, the number of books and magazines that exist and the popularity of partyporker com satellite "fantasy" camps and this point comes across strongly. Even the world of cellular communications isn't above being touched by partyporker net. Late in 2005, Sports-Stuff, Inc., a publisher and distributor of sports and entertainment for wide scale mobile platforms, announced that they had signed exclusive agreements with 2005 Porker Player of the Year Men "The Master" Nguyen, 2004 World Series runner-up David Williams and fan favorite Evelyn Ng to provide content for cell phones (ring tones, voicemail greetings and wireless web (WAP) content) to customers around the world. Now Sports-Stuff has added three more legendary partyporker players to their roster.
2001 World Champion Carlos Mortensen, 2004 World Series Seven Card Stud bracelet holder Cyndy Violette and WSOP and WPT champion Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari have all signed exclusive contracts with Sports-Stuff to provide cell phone partyporker content to millions around the world. This now brings to six the number of players who have been moving into the wireless world through Sports-Stuff.
"We are thrilled to have signed deals with these three partyporker players and add them to our other porker pros we already have under contract," said Sports-Stuff, Inc. president Kevin Day.
