Porn Poker Returns to XBIZ LA

LOS ANGELES — As business talks continued into the evening, industry colleagues made time to catch up with old friends around the poker table setups during the Porn Poker Tournament.

Sponsored by NETbilling, CamZ, CECash and DatingGold, the adult webmaster poker series featured Texas Hold’em and blackjack with cash prizes.

SugarCash affiliate sales manager Dani Apgar was the evening's big winner.

The event’s side attractions included an open bar and karaoke. Nearby couches offered other attendees several areas to lounge in and enjoy good company and drinks.

As a steady stream of adult webmasters trickled in and out of the tournament into the wee hours, the following daytime and evening activities were on everybody’s mind — the general consensus was to save oneself for the glitz and glamour of the XBIZ Awards just around the corner.

The welcoming, relaxed atmosphere of the Porn Poker Tour gave attendees a perfect venue right inside the luxurious Sofitel Hotel to unwind and possibly make it to the morning’s highly attended Speed Networking event.
