PowerPoker and the most prestigious night club in London, Jalouse hosted two parties to celebrate the launch of PowerVegas Casino. Paris Hilton, known to be a gambler and a party princess attended the party of the year with the PowerPoker group. Antonio Esfandiari, Andrew Robl and Keith Gipson were among the invited guests who arrived in Cannes to celebrate the launch with PowerPoker and Ziigmund. Also some of the worlds largest poker affiliates including Rakeback.org, Pokerisivut.com and others attended the party. In total the night event had nearly 4000 visitors as the venue, VIP Room, is built on the premises of Casino Palm Beach and is the number one party venue during the film festival. Organizing the party was also London’s number one members club Jalouse.


"The parties were super cool," Ziigmund says. "Carl Cox is a sick DJ, and having him play at the pool party was great. Once I heard PowerPoker has the chance to launch PowerVegas like this I was all in and didn’t hesitate one bit. I immediately knew it'll be something crazy - a true opportunity to have the best parties in a long time with a good group of friends. I don't think any other poker room has done something similar before so it was cool to be arranging such a high profile party."

PowerPoker also offered one lucky player a true VIP party package to Cannes. The winner, Annamari Kuvaja, won the package through a $5 dollar tournament qualifying to the final and taking home the money-can’t-buy party experience of her life. ”I was really surprised at first when I won the package, and thought I will only keep the flight money and skip the trip because of schedule problems. But then I realized it is something not to be missed - it would have been madness to miss this opportunity to see Cannes and party with the poker professionals,” says Annamari.

A wide selection of photos from the event is available for your media purposes here! The photo package includes images of Paris Hilton, Team Victory and of course Ziigmund who is the brand ambassador of PowerPoker and possibly the most entertaining high stakes cash game player in the world due to his crazy style of play.

POWERPOKER.COM, RÄHINÄ RECORDS AND PABLO FILMS PRESENT: A music video spectacle by one of Finland’s most famous rap stars Uniikki featuring rap stars Elastinen & Spekti – “Pojat On Poikii” (“Boys Will Be Boys”)

The freshly released music video “Pojat On Poikii” delivers unseen and beyond imaginative video material to the fans of Finnish hiphop label Rähinä Records about how “boys will be boys”. The video tells a story about how the Finnish rap artists and poker celebrity Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies make champagne flow, beautiful women twirl around them and how crazy the going can actually get in the wee small hours of the morning.

This unique music video is a production by PowerPoker.com, Pablo Films, Rähinä Records and Finnish poker star Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies, who also is one of the masterminds behind the video’s concept.

"This was such a crazy idea from Ziigmund, very true to his style, so there was no way PowerPoker was ever turning the co-operation down" says Jacqui Gatt, VIP Manager of PowerPoker.com.

“The video is about how the guys from Rähinä Records tag along to spend a night of some serious partying with our very own poker celeb Ilari Sahamies. At first everything goes smoothly, the champagne flows and there are lots of beautiful women, until in the small hours of the morning the going gets really crazy and a party of some very interesting characters join our group”, Finnish rap star Uniikki comments the video with a knowing smile on his face.

On the screen you can also see a glimpse of Finnish celebrities, for example Finland’s most popular Idol star Anna Abreu as well as renowned restaurant and nightclub chain owner Sedu Koskinen who does a remarkable cameo in the video.

“The video is seriously over the top and laughs at every single cliché seen in hiphop videos before, and that is exactly what we were aiming for. It is a hilarious story for my own and Rähinä’s fans and I am more than excited about the video’s reception in the hiphop scene.”
