Gavin Smith, to name one poker pro, will play in the Federated Poker League. That is, of course, if the league launches, which many poker players doubt. The league is the brainchild of Annie Duke and Jeffrey Pollack, an invitation only league for poker pros alone. Gavin Smith has announced that he will be happy to play in the league if it launches, and Duke recently announced some criteria that suggests it may become a reality. In fact so far 218 players have received invitations to play in the poker tournaments for two, three or five years at a pop.
