LAS VEGAS, June 30 /PRNewswire/ --

- With Imminent Magazine Launches in Russia and China, Card Player Media Now Brings "The Poker Authority" to 23 Countries and Over One-Third of the World's Population

Card Player Media, publisher of the world's leading poker magazine and website, today announced it is expanding into two of the world's biggest and fastest developing markets - Russia and China.

The upcoming launch of Card Player magazine in these territories will bring the total of countries in which Card Player Media has a presence to 23, giving "The Poker Authority" a global reach of 2.5 billion people, or about 37 percent of the world's population.

As poker has exploded internationally in the last few years, Card Player Media has grown rapidly, providing first-class coverage of the global poker scene from Macau to Rio de Janeiro, and Cape Town to Amsterdam.

But when the World Series is over, thousands of poker players will return to their home countries to play in their regular games, and Card Player will be there too."
