GGPoker To Continue Fundraising Efforts<\/h2>\n

Ty Stewart<\/strong>, Executive Director for the WSOP, thanked GGPoker for its tremendous contribution towards raising much-needed fund for Caesars Cares, which will help big time in supporting Caesars Entertainment team members who are currently struggling to cope with the financial challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. He welcomed GGPoker\u2019s decision to boost the donation by adding almost $100,000 from its own pockets. <\/p>\n

Daniel Negreanu<\/a> couldn\u2019t be prouder of the brand he\u2019s currently representing, citing its efforts of bringing tournaments that allow the worldwide poker community to work together and help those bearing the brunt of the ongoing global health emergency. The Poker Hall of Famer said the team at GGPoker will continue to organize fundraising events for worthy causes in the future <\/p>\n

In March, Caesars Entertainment announced a temporary shutdown of its network of properties in North America<\/a>, in compliance with government directives to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, affecting thousands of workers. The company gave an assurance that its liquidity position is strong enough to meet obligations in the middle of the crisis, though it needed to cut its operating and capital expenses to better deal with the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
