World Poker Tour Selected to Help Celebrate The 2008 Golden Globe Awards

December 31, 2007

The World Poker Tour (WPT) has been chosen to help celebrate The 65th Annual Golden Globe
Awards by donating gift baskets at the Awards annual gift suite held this year at the new
Thompson Hotel in Beverly Hills. The WPT is one out of only twenty-five vendors selected for
this event. The 2008 Awards will be held January 13th, 2008 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in
Beverly Hills.

GBK Productions is hosting the gift suite and Founder Gavin Keilly would like not only to
celebrate the Awards but make this year’s Award’s gift suite more personal for their non-profit
honorees and the celebrity award presenters. Both parties will be receiving the same $50,000 gift
bag and it is hoped that the non-profit organizations will gain the attention of celebrities who
might support their cause(s). GBK has chosen the The Writer’s Guild, The Brent Shapiro’s
Foundation and The Gondobay Manga Foundation founded by Isaiah Washington as their
honorees. The event production company will be donating 20 percent back to these charities.
Gavin Keilly is quoted as saying, “It is a pleasure to be in a position to be able to continue to
help these non-profits.”

Gift Suite donations from The World Poker Tour will include a three month subscription to
ClubWPT.com where 4,000 plus poker and black jack tournaments can be played every month
with a chance of winning $100,000 plus in cash and prizes. The Celebrities receiving this gift will
be invited to play in the WPT Celebrity Invitational for a $200,000 first prize. In addition, the Top
10 Celebrities Charity of choice will receive a donation.

The Invitational will be held March 1st through March 3rd, 2008 at the Commerce Casino in
Commerce, which has been nicknamed “Poker Capital of the World”. The Casino recently unveiled
The WPT Poker Walk of Fame preceding the L.A. Poker Classic Tournament. The inaugural
members include; Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brunson, Gus “The Great Dane” Hansen and James
“Maverick” Garner.
