DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-122573) of ante4, Inc. (formerly WPT Enterprises, Inc.) (the “Registrant”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 4, 2005 and amended pursuant to a post-effective amendment filed on July 17, 2006 (the “Form S-8”), pertaining to the registration of an aggregate of 4,200,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”), issuable under the Registrant’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

On November 2, 2009, the Registrant closed a transaction whereby it sold substantially all of its operating assets other than cash, investments and certain excluded assets to Peerless Media Ltd. (the “Transaction”). The Registrant plans to use the proceeds of the Transaction to develop or acquire a new operating business. However, until it develops or acquires a new operating business, it is possible that the Registrant could be considered a “shell company” as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As discussed in Section A.(1) of the General Instruction for Form S-8, assuming that as a result of closing of the Transaction the Registrant should be considered a shell company, the Registrant may no longer have been eligible to use Form S-8 to register the Shares subject to the Plan. Therefore, on November 3, 2009, the Registrant filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-162852) (the “Form S-3”) to register the Shares subject to the Plan. By registering the Shares subject to the Plan on Form S-3, the Registrant’s employees, consultants and directors will continue to be able to exercise their stock options or other stock-based awards and still receive registered, freely tradable shares. The Form S-3 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2009. Therefore, since the Shares are now registered pursuant to the Form S-3, the Registrant hereby amends the Form S-8 to remove from registration all Shares registered but not sold under the Form S-8.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Los Angeles, State of California, on November 13, 2009.
