Following the completion of their first tournament of 2013, the International Federation of Poker has announced that the organization’s only president, noted poker author and general Renaissance man Anthony Holden, has stepped down from his leadership role with the group.
A meeting of the board of directors accepted Holden’s resignation and immediately set about electing a new leader for the organization. After the vote, Patrick Nally was named as the new president of the IFP. Nally, a British entrepreneur and consultant who has led a revival in sports marketing for such events as the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and the Olympic Games, paid tribute to Holden after being named the new president of the IFP.
Holden will not be leaving the IFP entirely, however. The Board of the IFP has asked him to take on a new role as Ambassador for the organization and Holden accepted. In addition to those new responsibilities with the IFP, Holden is reportedly moving back to his literary roots, which include seminal poker books, as well as working on his memoirs.
