Seven professional poker players filed an antitrust lawsuit today in the Federal District Court of Los Angeles against World Poker Tour Enterprises (WPTE). Annie Duke, Howard Lederer, Andy Bloch, Joe Hachem, Greg Raymer, Chris Ferguson, and Phil Gordon are seeking injunctive relief and punitive damages based on claims that the World Poker Tour’s player release forms and exclusive contracts with participating casinos constitute wrongful conduct as defined by the Sherman Antitrust Act and the California Business and Professions Code.
