Playboy Poker Show Planned

Playboy's Alta Loma Entertainment announced today that it has commissioned the Players Network (OTC Bulletin Board: PNTV) to produce "Playboy's Women of Poker," a multi-part television series that will feature beautiful women competing to become members of Playboy's Poker Team and win all the perks that go along with it, including the potential of appearing in a Playboy Magazine pictorial.

As members of Playboy's Poker Team, the winners will make public appearances, play in charity tournaments and participate in other promotional events.
