Full Tilt Poker?s Team Full Tilt Blaze a Winning Streak in Early 2008

Dublin, Ireland (PRWEB) April 9, 2008 ? Full Tilt Poker Pros continue to earn their reputation as the first dynasty of poker, blazing a winning streak in early 2008 with three major wins, and two notable finishes on the tournament circuit.

Most recently, Team Full Tilt?s Jennifer Harman, one of the most feared poker players in the game, came in third at the WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star Tournament. The third place finish garnered Harman $330,000. The performance brings her career tournament winnings to more than $2 million.

Just a couple of weeks earlier, fellow Team Full Tilt member Chris ?Jesus? Ferguson established himself as the world?s premier heads-up poker player by winning the $20,000 buy-in National Heads Up Poker Championship at Caesar?s Palace in Las Vegas. Ferguson, who was the event runner-up in both 2005 and 2006, broke through on his third finals appearance in four years to claim the title and $500,000 in prize money.

In February, Phil Ivey added a World Poker Tour title to his already impressive resume by winning the $10,000 No-Limit Hold ?em Championship Event at the Los Angeles Poker Classic. Making his record eighth WPT final table appearance, Ivey overcame a field of 665 players and a star-studded final table, including Phil Hellmuth and former WPT winner Nam Le to earn his first WPT title along with first place prize money of $1.59 million.

January was also a stellar month for Team Full Tilt when Erik Seidel added another outstanding finish to his remarkable tournament record by taking second place at the prestigious Aussie Millions Main Event, claiming AU$ 1 million.

First out the gate and setting the pace for Team Full Tilt early in 2008 was Howard ?the Professor? Lederer who claimed one of the most sought after titles in tournament poker, winning the $100K No-Limit Hold ?em event at the Aussie Millions for a first place prize of AU$ 1.25 million.

In addition to Team Full Tilt?s accomplishments in the first quarter of 2008, Full Tilt Pro, Huck Seed won the Canadian Open Poker Championship worth $100K in March, and fellow Full Tilt Pro David Pham has had a strong year, so far, with two major tournament final tables. He currently holds third place in the 2008 CardPlayer ?Player Of The Year Race.?

Adding to their roster of notable talent, poker pro Roy Winston joined the team of Full Tilt Pros in March. Mr. Winston who won a World Poker Tour Championship at the 2007 Borgata Poker Open and cashed in four events at the 2007 Bellagio 5 Diamond World Poker Classic (including a victory in the $2K No-Limit Hold ?em event), has accumulated nearly $2.4 million in career tournament winnings.
