David Williams not with Bodog any more
Just to set the record straight, we asked Patrik Selin, CEO of Bodog Poker, to explain why he hasn’t renewed the contracts of any of the male poker pros that were on the Bodog roster when he took the reins last summer. Patrik says that this decision was made as a result of the new Bodog poker network’s desire to be more retail focused.
The last remaining male pro on the roster was David Williams, who recently won the WPT Championship as his last tournament playing under the Bodog banner. As a fellow poker pro, Patrik has a ton of respect for David, and was happy to see him take top honors (and the $1.53M purse) at the WPT.
Patrik, the former CEO of OnGame (which sold to Bwin in 2005 for €500M), is one of the most respected CEO’s in online gaming. Patrik heads up a European group that has licensed the Bodog brand from Bodogbrand.com for a global poker network, and he wants it known that there are a lot of new things coming down the pipe for Bodog poker, which will become apparent over the coming year.
