Jones Leaves Cake Poker

Corporate strategy causes fall-apart According to recent speculations confirmed by posts at the top poker forum 2+2, Cake Poker Network's card room manager has resigned his position. Lee Jones, the manager, posted the following notice this week: “This is a brief announcement to let you know that, as of yesterday, I have resigned my position at Cake Poker and will not be making any further posts here. Their management has made some strategic decisions with which I'm not comfortable. Please direct any questions or concerns to the Cake support staff; they are top-notch people.” The speculations also raised the question whether Cake's director of tournaments, Serge Ravitch, who is perhaps better known for his work in exposing the Absolute Poker cheating scandals, has also left the network. At the forum, he advocated for Jones, and stated that he is leaving Cake for the same reasons. Poker News Daily learned from Jones, who is a columnist there, that he will be staying in the industry, and that he is currently exploring his employment options. Apart from Cake, his CV includes other giants, such as Pokerstars and Cardrunners.
