"I have tremendous honor and it’s a pleasure to be working for Tower Brasil"

After having been Tournament Director of BSOP for several years, Samir Zein visited SAGSE in Buenos Aires for the first time, now in his new role of responsible for the live events of Tower Brasil around the world. He went through the stand of Games Magazine Brazil to talk about his expectations for the change of company, the projects in which he already works and the great moment of poker in the country.

GMB - What is your assessment of SAGSE? How did you see the show?
Samir Zein - It's my first time here in Argentina with SAGSE and I'm really enjoying what I'm seeing. Since I'm new to this casino business, I try to learn more and more. I have been in the poker industry for ten years, but now I want to learn more and more about casinos, games, sports betting; all there is of gambling in the world.

And now you're working with Tower Brasil...What is its function there?
Yes, I am now with Tower Brasil. I represent the brand all over Brazil and I am responsible for all the live event of Tower worldwide.

What projects are you working on?
We can say that next April we will have the first live event of Tower in the year, in Punta Cana, in the Hard Rock, from April 22 to 29. And I already invite all of Latin America to play the satellites in Tower. Those who qualify, win the package and can play there with us.

And why did you choose Tower for this moment so important to you?
Tower is a leading poker company in Latin America. The brand has been for 14 years a pioneer space for activity throughout Latin America, with great representation, players who have been practicing for years in Tower participating in their events. I have tremendous honor and a pleasure to be working together with the company and I am sure we will put it in the right place that it deserves throughout Latin America.

Can you rate the current moment of poker in Brazil, since it has grown a lot to become na international leading country?
Online poker in Brazil is already a powerhouse, the second online market in the world. In live tournaments every year that passes is record compared to the previous one. I am happy to be part of the history of Brazilian poker being director of the Brazilian poker championship (BSOP) until today and always thinking of improving the player's experience so that he always comes back and calls more friends to play with us.
