News Item - Full Tilt

According to a source close to Full Tilt Poker, the site’s pros are able to play in any competitor’s open event. The squad’s ability to enter this weekend’s PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Main Event appeared to be in doubt.
Whether members of Team Full Tilt or the site’s Red Pros will turn out to the $5,000 buy-in NAPT feature tournament remains to be seen. However, contrary to an article that appeared on ESPN.com, pros of Full Tilt are apparently more than welcome to buy into PokerStars-sponsored events. A source close to the world’s second largest online poker site told Poker News Daily, “Any Full Tilt pro, Red or member of Team Full Tilt, can play in any competitor's open event.”

Currently, Full Tilt sponsored pro Roberto Romanello is second in chips at the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Copenhagen event with 39 players remaining. Players like Phil Ivey and Andy Bloch, both members of Team Full Tilt, competed in last year’s World Series of Poker (WSOP) Europe Main Event, which is title sponsored by Betfair.

In 2008, Full Tilt Poker pro John Juanda took the prestigious tournament down for £868,000.

Phil Ivey increased his poker god credentials by winning event 8 at the 2009 WSOP.
Deuce to Seven Draw Lowball (No-Limit) was the variant for event 8 and many believe this is the purest form of poker due to its great bluffing capabilities.

Ivey beat John Monnette in a see-saw battle which saw Ivey chip away at Monnette only for John to come rushing back with 2 big double ups.

147 players entered in what was quite a tough field predominantly full of pro's.
Ivey's profile hasn't been done on here as yet but will be done later this week.
