Virgin Poker is proud to announce its sponsorship of two of the brightest British Poker talents around today - Julian Gardner and David Pomroy. They will be representing Virgin at various EPT and WPT events around the world in 2006 and will be ever-present on Virgin Poker, playing under the names ‘Virgin Ace’ & ‘Dpommo’ respectively. Both players’ progress at major tournaments will be tracked on the Virgin Poker blog, and they will also contribute regular articles, guides and tips for the Virgin Poker community.
Player profiles:
Julian Gardner AKA ‘Virgin Ace’
Julian ‘The Kid’ Gardner hails from Manchester and is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished British players of his generation. He came within a whisker of becoming the youngest ever WSOP champion in 2002, finishing runner up, and is the only player to ever finish in the money at the main event of the WSOP 3 years running. Julian has teamed up with Virgin and will be representing Virgin Poker on the EPT and WPT in 2006. He will also be contributing to the blog, and taking part in various Virgin Bounty tournaments.
David Pomroy AKA ‘Dpommo’
South Londoner David ‘Pommo’ Pomroy took up Poker about 3 years ago and has since proved to be one of the most exciting young British talents in the game today. He is part of a new generation of players, born through the online revolution, and having plied his trade mainly online, made his live debut in October 2005 at the Dublin EPT. He was unlucky not to win the event, finishing 3rd, and certainly made an impact on the European scene. Pommo will be representing Virgin Poker across the WPT and EPT this year, along with making regular contributions to the blog.
