Highlights of its official red carpet launch event, at Hard Rock’s Vanity Nightclub, included 30 pounds of various confections, an open bar, and an impromptu Playboy Playmate photo shoot with Sara Underwood. Team Victory hosts included Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari, "Rodeo King" turned poker pro Lee Markholt, Dan "Blitz" Bilzerian, High Stakes Poker guest Andrew Robl, young cash games specialist Keith Gipson, "Who's Your Daddy" CEO Dan Fleyshman, WSOP Champion Paul Wasicka, professional backgammon and poker player Sander Lyloff, "The Maven VT" David Chicotsky, Brian Rast, Alec Torelli, and "Chinese Poker Wizard" Danny Wong.
The no-limit hold'em charity poker tournament ‘Trash Talk’ raised more than $30,000 for the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program at Cedars-Sinai. Real World's Trishelle Cannatella became the 2010 ‘Trash Talk’ champion, winning the first place prize money, a 20-pound custom designed crystal trophy, and a World Poker Tour Celebrity Invitational seat sponsored by ClubWPT.com. Cannetella donated a large portion of her winnings back to the charity.
Dan Fleyshman, the youngest owner of a publicly traded company and the founder of Who’s Your Daddy energy drink, is CEO of VictoryPoker and is determined to create the coolest online poker site in the world: “I believe Victory brings the true essence of the game to the player and through our A-list poker team I hope to achieve this. Our Team Victory include celebs, Playmates and UFC Fighters and they will not only be playing on the site regularly, they will be getting involved with a lot of cool mainstream events.”
Antonio Esfandiari of Team Victory comments: “Its an amazing feeling to be a part of a project from its inception and to share those experiences with your closest friends is in itself something that cannot be explained. Never in my life have I been so excited for any project until VictoryPoker.”
