First he had a fantastic 2009 and won over $1.5 million in different live tournaments, then he was voted player of the year by one of the biggest poker magazines, then Ultimate Bet asked him to join their team, which he gladly said yes to.

looks likes he really deserves both his new sponsor and his player of the year title. 17 final tables and 4 wins is really impressive, good luck to him in his new team

Good for him player of the year is some big achivement as there are sooooo many players out there to choose from...but going to Ultimate bet????? not a great move i think.
Ultimate Bet definently offered him a better contract. Being able to sign new pro's to their site will go a long way to improving their image after the beating they took with the superuser accounts scandel. I'm sure he's got the talent or else they wouldn't have tried to sign him.
Money calls money; he was able to realize his dreams, own a lots and now has a strong sponsorship. What else ? Charlize Teron ? Tila Tequila ? Eva Mendez ?

Yea i think the same they needed to paid a nice cash to get this guy.... or nobody really care of him from the others sites , who knows ^^. But thinking FTP take nearly all the players who can play poker it's rare to see someone sign with someone else.
, who knows ^^.
..it's not bad
