DENVER, CO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/03/07 -- DC Brands International's (PINKSHEETS: DCBI) (DC Brands) President and CEO, Richard Pearce, and Executive Vice President, Richard Muscarella, left for Las Vegas today to attend the company-sponsored Amateur Poker Tournament. Held at Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel on May 4-6, 2007, the tournament attracts an international group of players all vying for their fair share of the $175,000 prize pool. DC Brands will have a substantial presence at the event, with the "DC Girls" handing out Dickens Energy Cider and Turn Left Energy Drink to the players and spectators as well as making their rounds through the casino.

"We knew the Amateur Poker Tour was an event we wanted to support because it directly reaches our target consumer. Most poker tournaments only target the top 1 percent of the poker world. With this event's affordable buy-in, the tournament is reaching the other 99 percent of poker players, dramatically increasing our brands' reach," said Pearce.

Pearce and Muscarella follow their trip to business with several key meetings in the western region.
