The rumours have been floating around for a while now but it is now confirmed that on September 1st 2010, Dan Fleyshman, the founder and CEO of Victory Poker, will officially announce the news of Victory Poker moving away from the Everleaf network and over to the Cake network.
The Everleaf network is one of the smaller networks that have the ability to accept American players. Everleaf operates under a licence from the Malta Lottery and Gaming network. Cake Poker is the 4th largest online poker network among those that accepts players from the United States, which is the market where it focuses most of its attention. Cake Poker is the current operating network for popular sites DoylesRoom and Power Poker.
Victory Poker has a massive portfolio of professionals and has been known to directly market a lot more aggressively than the majority of all other online poker rooms, one cause of its booming success. Victory’s roster consist of professionals such as Antonio Esfandiari, Andrew Robl, Dan Bilzerian, Alec Torelli and Jonathan Little to just to name a few. The Victory Poker room is a fast growing poker site and the move to the Cake network will be able to support the needs of the room now and moving forward.
As a double celebration, there is a huge party scheduled in London on September 1st to celebrate the both the move to the Cake network which also coincides with CEO Dan Fleyshman’s 29th birthday. To top off the party, which will have 2007 playboy playmate of the year Sara Underwood locked in a cage, there is a scheduled photo shoot featuring Sara Underwood, Emma Glover, Rosie Jones, and Victoria Moore, who are going to be having a no-holds-barred cake fight.
Cake poker is also going through a lot of internal growth launching its latest client, Cake 2.0 allowing more gaming options to suit all players in all formats of games on the network.
Both the Victory Poker room and the Cake Network see this move as huge success and an opportunity for fantastic growth. Will the Cake network be up there with PokerStars and Full Tilt in the near future? Only time will tell, but this move certainly puts that growth in the right direction.
