BOCA RATON, Florida, November 25 /PRNewswire/ --

- Upscale Publication the Latest Launch for Poker Pro Media

The most trusted name in poker is coming to Canada. Industry leader Poker
Pro Media is adding another title to its stable of worldwide poker
publications, Poker Pro Canada.

The Canadian edition of Poker Pro will get to the heart of Canadian poker
every month with in-depth articles and reporting on the growing poker scene
in Canada, including profiles of top Internet and "live" players and
moneymaking tips from the country's most successful pros.

"Some say this is a time of contraction for print media, but we're
bullish on the Canadian market," said Poker Pro Canada Executive Editor John
"Johnny Quads" Wenzel. "The game is exploding in Canada and we intend to
provide enthusiasts with a slick, upscale magazine that will be fun to read
and will also improve their bottom line at the tables."

Poker Pro Canada joins the Poker Pro Media family, which includes seven
successful titles worldwide, including the U.S. edition of Poker Pro magazine
(http://www.pokerpromagazine.com) - one of the top three poker publications
in the world in circulation - Poker Pro Europe and Online Poker Pro, the
largest publication devoted to Internet poker.

Beginning in March, Poker Pro Canada will be found every month in
bookstores such as Indigo/Chapters and major retailers 7-Eleven, Petro
Canada, Shoppers Drug Mart, A&P, Loblaws, Walmart and Costco. The magazines
will also be available in all poker rooms from coast-to-coast and will be a
major presence at Canada's biggest poker events.

The magazine is being launched just in time for the lead-up to next
summer's World Series of Poker, which is expected to shatter records. The
website http://www.pokerprocanada.com will be launched in the coming weeks.

Whether it's a behind-the-scenes article on Daniel Negreanu, an in-depth
look into the mindset of inaugural "November Nine" member Scott Montgomery or
a feature on the table antics of Gavin Smith, Poker Pro Canada will not only
delight poker aficionados of all ages and skill levels but cater to the
advertiser as well.

Canada is home to some of poker's elite, hundreds of world-class players
and thousands of likable characters. This is the magazine for them, and it
will be an essential part of any player's collection, whether it's the
aspiring pro or the recreational player who just likes watching poker on
television.

Inside each issue, readers will find a "full house" of poker-related
material. Whether it's an interview with tournament phenom Nenad Medic, an
article featuring a popular poker travel destination, tournament reports and
analysis or profiles of our famous poker-playing personalities, like Jennifer
Tilly, PP Canada will have it all. Strategy, tactics, winning secrets and
poker accessories too - Poker Pro Canada will have it covered.

"The Canadian poker scene is fascinating, but it doesn't get a lot of
publicity. We're going to change that," said Wenzel: "Poker Pro Canada will
be a magazine players will be proud to have on their coffee tables."

Poker Pro Media, parent company of Poker Pro, Online Poker Pro and Poker
Pro Europe magazines, was established in 2004 and now has seven titles
worldwide that every month bring readers up to speed on the major happenings
in the poker world. As an industry leader, the Poker Pro Media family of
publications provides readers with an entertaining and informative mix of
poker-related news, pro profiles, event reports and strategies. Visit Poker
