Blinds will be 30k/60k with a 5k ante, so BH will have 3.5 BB's. I don't know where the button will be.

Re: Congrats to Bart Hanson
 

From what I can tell, there is still time left at the 20k/40k/5k level with Bart in the CO.

Re: Congrats to Bart Hanson
 

I assume they redrew the button for the televised FT and Bart drew the CO? thats pretty good.

GO BART

Re: Congrats to Bart Hanson
 

I'm going off the fact that 10th place busted while on the button. There shouldn't be a redraw since they were playing 10-handed.

Any news on whether Bart is going to pimp himself out to FT and wear their gear?

Reading the pokernews updates, there has only been one update in which he was involved in a hand:

Andreas Krause Doubled Through Bart Hanson

Bart Hanson pushed UTG for 460,000. He was called by Andreas Krause's A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Hanson flipped over A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Bart will attempt to do the deal himself after he rejected my offer to help him.

Alex Jacob will definitely be one of the 3 FullTiltPoker.net representatives given that he is the chipleader (at 3.1 million) and he had worked for FullTiltPoker.net at the 2006 ESPN Trump Taj Mahal US Poker Championship.

I have presented Andreas Krause of Stuttgart, GERMANY (one of the short stacks at 490K) and Paul Evans of Northern California (2nd chip position at 1.69M) to FullTiltPoker.net for consideration.

FullTiltPoker.net will select no more than 3, with Alex Jacob being a lock for one of the 3.

I will be pushing for Andreas Krause, who has a track record going back to the 2000 WSOP where he finished 2nd at a Stud High/Low event.

Germany is definitely a priority market for FullTiltPoker.net right now, with FullTiltPoker.net having just signed 2-time WSOP bracelet winner Eddy Scharf of Cologne.
