Alex Dreyfus plans to make the Global Poker Index the ‘Poker Entertainment Company’ after unveiling plans to beta test his new TV studios this weekend.

If you didn’t know Alex Dreyfus, and stalked him on Twitter, you could be forgiven for believing he is a hormone-ravaged teenager. The man has become obsessed with Twitch, and now we know why.

The man driving poker to the masses harder than Lewis Hamilton drives a Mercedes has announced plans to launch a new Global Poker Index (GPI) TV show this weekend.

The focus of attention will be the final weekend of what has been a superlative Spring Championships of Online Poker (SCOOP), and the action will be coming to you from his brand new TV facilities in Malta. Not every screw and bolt has been put in place, so the set is still in beta-mode, but it’s never been Dreyfus’s style to wait when there are fans to please.
