BUILT BY A PLAYER. BUILT FOR THE JOURNEY.
♠ Poker travel never follows a normal itinerary. One hand can change the flight home, the hotel stay, and the next destination.
Cory Phephles is the Founder and CEO of Poker Travel Agent, a Nebraska-based venture created around the real needs of traveling poker players.
The idea began with a simple observation: players were planning one journey across tournament calendars, travel websites, hotel options, maps, community groups, and last-minute changes. Cory saw an opportunity to bring that fragmented experience together through a company built specifically for poker travel.
His vision is to create a trusted poker travel agency that makes the journey more connected, flexible, and human—helping players discover more destinations, build lasting relationships, and create stories that extend far beyond the cards.
