IFILM will produce shorts of the tournament action, which will be hosted by MTV diva, Trishelle, interview the various college poker players, and capture the juxtaposition of poker play amongst Spring Break antics. The Poker Championship content will be featured prominently on the IFILM.com website and syndicated to IFILM's online partner sites that are aimed towards the college audience.

"It's only fitting that as the fastest growing online poker site, we would reach out to IFILM.com as our partner in bringing poker to Spring Break," says Haden Ware, CEO, World Poker Exchange. "IFILM.com has a loyal following among college-aged consumers across multiple territories that appreciate independent and alternative video programming, making IFILM a natural media partner for our unique college tournament taking place in the fun environment of Spring Break, Cancun. The college sector is one of the fastest growing demographic segments of on-line poker, which is why we chose to host the final table at ground zero of Spring Break, where college students celebrate the very trends they alone define."
