A new beginning
Once the FullTiltPoker.com was launched in the first week of November, there was found out who would be its image. PokerStars mentioned the name of Gus Hansen, the Dane player who was a regular at the highest site bettings, whether it was about Omaha, Hold’em or any poker version.
Gus Hansen does not really need an introduction. Born in Denmark, is 38 and one of the most familiar faces in the online and live poker. He has been a guest of numerous TV shows and won 11 million dollars from playing. He holds three World Poker Tour titles and a WSOPE bracelet.
A chance not to miss
‘The Great Dane’ gave an interview to PokerNews Global.
‘I have been with Full Tilt for many years and always looked up at Stars. While considering what happened in the last 15 months, I really believe that it is the most suitable company to reopen Full Tilt and bring back the glamour of the old times. I want to be part of the comeback process. When FTP contacted me, I said yes in a blink of an eye – it is a really great opportunity to be the image of what I think is the best poker room in the world – FullTiltPoker.com. I will speak in behalf of the room, both online and during the big live tournaments around the world,’ said Gus Hansen. ‘I am pretty sure that everything will go as expected.’
‘Gus is one of the best known and respected players in the poker community. The Dane is the best avatar for the positive meaning of Full Tilt Poker and we are thrilled to have him as the ambassador of the site,’ affirmed Sarne Lightman, Director of the Marketing Department at the new Full Tilt. In the past, he developed and successfully implemented the PokerStars Latin American Poker Tour circuit.
And for an even better picture Full Tilt Poker brought, this month, in the team named “The Professionals” the famous poker players Tom “Durrrr” Dwan and Viktor “Isildur1” Blom next to Gus Hansen.
