Posted on 16 October 2012 by "T".

On Monday, Full Tilt Poker announced another two names that have joined Gus Hansen as members of the new team of ambassadors known collectively as "The Professionals". The two players are Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Viktor "Isildur1" Blom and the press release says that the they will "reignite a fierce competition at the highest stakes tables on the Full Tilt Poker site."

"I'm very excited that Full Tilt Poker is relaunching. I think it is great for poker and I'm excited to be a part of it." said Tom Dwan, who had Full Tilt Poker as a sponsor until Black Friday.

This is what Viktor Blom, who left Team PokerStars Pro in August, had to say: "I always loved playing on the Full Tilt Poker software, it is where I made my name and enjoyed some of my greatest victories. When they approached me about joining the team I knew this was the right fit for me."

The new Full Tilt Poker launches in just 22 days. It will be interesting to see what player(s) they will sign next. Maybe a well-known tournament grinder? The current team of pros (Dwan, Blom and Hansen) give an indication that Full Tilt Poker's main focus will be cash games.

nice to know, but I think I will not be on the same table as Blom as I can only play at micro stakes as I am not a pro and I do not have such a big bankroll.

Hope that belgian players will be allowed at FTP as I always found it one of the best.

To tomac: I believe you can log in with your old account. I think I got an email that said so.

Nice faces to choose as the new ambassadors of FT. It was a bit difficult to immediately identify Viktor Blom on this pic, maybe it was because of the haircut and the suit. Just hope I can put the hands on my cents over there fast, it’s just three weeks away. And then I enter there, I will fur sure not resist to try on playing at a table, and then…

this is going to be a very exciting high stakes cash game in FTP since they have the best aggressive cash game players......a lot of action to watch

can't wait to get my hands on the full tilt again- will be so nice to bust a roll there Big Smile great software, great graphics, lots of players, great panda/dracula avatars- probably not so great rewards scheme since pokerstars will influence that a bit on the bad side, but still very eager to have a go at full tilt

I think one of the most expected rematches of the online world will be up once FTP will reopen Big Smile

Now that Viktor signed with ftp he will definately have more bullets to fight some sick games Smile

Read about early in the morning and couldnt think about anyone better to represent fulltilt but them, some of the biggest names on fulltill who played the biggest pots online poker has ever seen. Really eager to rail dawn playing again too with his real nick (whatever is his pokerstars nick if he has one). Really excited for the fulltilt comeback tbh, wanna see ivey there too =)

this is so cool, considering months before black friday i placed 2nd in the $1 daily dollar and won a cool 1k ....under screen name eloko99..... little did i know i was playing with play chips. any ways i ended up going a lil nutts lol and lost most of my roll, but considering what was going on i still feel like they ''stars or tilt'' should reimburse me in full for finishing 2nd in the daily dollar......I just think its fair considering! ......any body somewhat agree ? ps you dont have to fully agree only partly lol Smile

You couldnt enter the daily dollar with play chips.. You could buy in with FTP points or cash.

( I know because I've final tabled it 7 times ) Big Smile

baught in with $1 ......considering fulltilt never had my funds in REAL LIFE, it was play chips we were all playing with!....understand?

------------
and i also tried cashing out with no luck weeks before black friday

------------
P.S I wonder if the rail will be the same on the high stake tables? Big Smile

Aww crap! I am so frustrated with all the other little issues and loose ends that were not resolved fairly, In my opinion players should be refunded every cent deposited, then lost at full tilt poker , considering they really did not have the real money in the first place, it was basically ''ME'' depositing thinking I may have a chance at winning some $, But of course usally lost everything! Smile ......BUT on the other hand FULLTILT ....HEHEHEHEHE even if you won, you were only playing with ciber play chips.SO WTF i want all the MONEY back I deposited on tilt because i thought it was REAL MONEY....makes sense to me any body else? let me know I may have a lawsuit on my hands lol

According to Daniel Negreanu, "Viktor is an online cash game grinder and Full Tilt was well known for its cash games. PokerStars is more geared towards tournaments and the fit makes more sense because all he wants to do is play online".

We wont have to open new accounts (that would have been a huge mess to clear).
The old ones will do fine.
I bet the one thing will be on fire after the reopening will be the password reminder form Smile
Less than three weeks to go.
