LAS VEGAS, July 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Major League Poker and The Gaming Club Online Poker Room announced today the launch of 'On The Felt,' an online radio show created for poker players that is available both live and on demand. 'On the Felt' is the first online show to broadcast LIVE from the World Series of Poker Lifestyle Show at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino during the 2005 tournament in Las Vegas from July 6th through to the finals on the 15th.

Reports will be exclusively available on The Gaming Club's poker website ("It's not everyday that the general public has access to a premiere event like WSOP," said Major League Poker's CMO, Tony Tomassini. "With the tremendous growth of online poker, it only makes sense for us to use the Internet to deliver our radio show."

As with familiar sports talk radio programs, 'On The Felt' is interactive, and listeners are encouraged to email and call to give their opinions, ask questions and even request topics for discussion. Live forums are scheduled to allow the maximum number of The Gaming Club members to get involved and guide the show.
