Congratulations to him. Its interesting to see they took a PLO player, just at the moment when the PLO is becoming more and more popular at big stakes and for railbirds...

I think this is signaling a move of the pros towards Omaha. I guess the small edges just rub away with the variance of Holdem and Omaha is just the way to keep the edges alive

Man, with so many red pros in Full Tilt, I guess it will eventually lose its value...It seems like they're giving them away these days...I've never heard from this guy before...but maybe he'll show why he belongs there

THey sure dont give red pro's away. Compare it with football. 50 years ago there were like 5-6 'best footballers' in the world. Now you have to list atleast 15 of them.Its just poker's popularity has raised and spread all over the world.
watced this guy playing for a bit yesterday, he was on 4 omaha tables with 3x the buy in on each - he's either on a nice heater or is a very decent player. Time will tell!

FTP are still the best (in my opinion) Highlighting there pros in red is a brill idea, can see them coming. I remember when they first brought out the matrix games and i sat down for a £20 buy in and there was this dude who's name was in red.... i thought it was a bit strange and asked support why is this guys name red...haha they told me it was a pro....Cool first time i'd ever played with a pro...still lost lol
