Endorsement defection?

gobboboy · #1 03-24-2006, 08:18 PM

So I saw FullTilt's show on FSN today while I was eating dinner (oh god, Outback is so good) and something caught my eye.

They had a SNG going with a ton of the top pros. Ferguson, Matusow, Juanda, Ivey... HELLMUTH!? Is there something I'm missing? Why is Hellmuth doing a FullTilt show? He was pretty securely an UltimateBet guy.

Did everyone else already know this? Am I crazy? You wouldn't like me when I'm crazy.

If no one else noticed this, then I guess Hellmuth defected to FullTilt... until I hear a new explanation.

UB is allowing its top 3 "pros" (Duke, Hellmuth, Esfandiari) to appear on the Full Tilt FSN show.

Dude, this was not the only time a non-Full Tilt pro appeared in a Full Tilt show. Duke was on Play Poker like the Pros. Kid Poker was on Play Poker like the Pros. Hellmuth was on Play Poke like the Pros. I can go on and on and on...

Esfandiari is one of UB's top three pros?

Who's number four?

What is "FullTilt's show"? The invitational?

I'm shocked Antonio is considered in the top 3 too. I'd rank them 1) Phil 2) Devilfish 3) Annie Duke 4) Antonio

Actually i thought I had seen devilfish on there once as well.

Devil Fish has his own Poker site now, so I guess that he has ended his association with UB.

I was watching Poker Superstars 3 this morning (also known as the All In fest - what happened to real poker?) and Eli Elezra had a FTP shirt on...

Is he on the team now?

Johnny Chan also had a FTP shirt on on this weeks PS III.
