Two Big Names Get Big Deals

Two of the biggest names in poker have acquired new sponsorship deals.  Tom “durrrr” Dwan has joined Team Full Tilt and Tony Guoga better known as Tony G has joined the Party Poker Team.

It comes with little surprise the online phenom Tom Dwan was named the newest member of Team Full Tilt.  Tom has been a staple in the highest of high stakes games on FTP for quite some time now.  Tom has also become a regular in TV cash games making his brand all the more marketable.  Up and coming poker young guns look up to the success that durrrr has had at such a young age.  He is a fearless competitor that mixes it up with the best in the world. 

Tony G joining Team Party may have been foreshadowed by Tony G Poker merging with Noble Poker.  Noble Poker is owned by Partygaming Plc.  Bringing on a big name like Tony G shows that Party Poker is looking to regain some of the popularity they had in their heyday when their grip on the US market was HUGE.  Party Poker is also offering some nice promotions these days for non US Players including monthly big money points chases.
