Nolan Dalla
 Nolan Dalla is a true “insider.” He has been in the poker and gambling business for 14 years. Dalla embodies many unique career experiences – as a writer/journalist, casino executive, and player. He is certainly one of the most eclectic personalities in gaming today.
Dalla has written over 200 columns for Card Player magazine. In 1997, he created Card Player’s "Player of the Year" tournament ranking system, which is still in use today. Dalla has written for a variety of publications during the past decade -- including Poker Digest, Poker Player, Gaming Today, Gambling Times, The Intelligent Gambler, and many others. He served on the staff of Poker School Online and has been a frequent contributor to PokerPages.com since 1999.
Dalla has also contributed to his knowledge to the world of sports betting. He was the sports handicapping columnist for Casino Player from 2002-2005. His research led to the creation of "Dalla’s NFL Halftime Betting Angles," which proved immensely profitable and eventually caused oddsmakers to adjust lines. After the findings were published in the Daily Racing Forum and several other magazines and websites, halftime lines reflected the impact of Dalla’s work.
Dalla co-authored the best-selling biography "One of a Kind: The Rise and Fall of Stuey 'the Kid' Ungar, the World’s Greatest Poker Player," published by Atria Books in 2005. The book has been optioned for a movie by Warner Brothers Studios.
Dalla also knows the casino side of the business. He served as the Public Relations Director for legendary (now defunct) Binion’s Horseshoe Casino in Downtown Las Vegas from 2003-2004. He has also served as a consultant to PokerStars.com, the world’s largest online poker site, as well as Jack Binion and the World Poker Open.
However, Dalla is perhaps best known as the current Media Director for the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas and the World Series of Poker Circuit events, a title he has held since 2002. He is unquestionably the most prolific writer on record in the 38-year history of the WSOP, having written nearly 250 WSOP final table reports.
Prior to entering the poker and gambling industry, Dalla worked for the U.S. State Department. He was stationed in Romania in 1989 during the fall of communism and the overthrow of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. He also worked for the Turkish Government in Washington, DC for six years as a researcher and writer. He holds a B.A. in political science.
Today, Dalla lives in Las Vegas with Marieta, his wife of 17 years. In March 2007, Dalla will assume the title of Editor-in-Chief for PokerPages.com. He will write and host a groundbreaking new monthly documentary-style video program focusing on the most current and controversial topics in poker. This new program can only be seen at PokerPages.com.
