Dwan was originally a member of the Poker Stars’ professional team but has now joined their newly acquired Full Tilt site together with Blom and Hansen.
Sarne Lightman, Full Tilt Poker’s Head of Marketing, said that Dwan is one of the most feared and respected poker players in the world today. Lightman added that his exploits at the Full Tilt Poker tables resulted in a huge following in the poker community and they are thrilled to bring that action back for their players.
Lightman also said that in choosing their Pros they approached the three poker players whose innovative and unique styles have had the most impact of how modern poker is played.
Blom revealed that his decision to join Full Tilt was made easy by the software and his past success at the site. He added that he has always loved playing on the Full Tilt Poker software and that it was at Full Tilt where he made his name and enjoyed some of his greatest victories.
When the new Full Tilt Poker re-launches on November 6 full account balances and previous rewards will be available immediately for the rest of the world. However, only play-money games will be available for US players until such time as proper legislation is passed in theUnited States.
