Title: Hey there Mr Thew Sky Post by: TightEnd on April 19, 2011, 11:16:05 AM Press Release
Julian Thew Signs for Sky Poker Sky Poker today announced that it has signed UK Poker Professional Julian Thew. The Nottingham based pro said “I’m delighted and excited to be asked to join Sky Poker and really look forward to representing them at various live tournaments and playing in their many online events, including the brand new Sky Roller”. He added, “Sky Poker is a well-respected and trusted company with a great community of players who I’ll certainly be getting to know more”. Thew is one of the UK’s most successful ever players having double GUKPT success as well as winning the European Poker Tour Baden event in 2007 taking home $947,806. He also has many major event wins and final table appearances to his name. Most recently, Julian won the DTD Monte Carlo Event beating a field of 291 and taking home the £60,000 first prize. Thew will be playing alongside Sky Poker’s recently formed ‘Team Sky Poker’, a group of players who qualified to represent Sky Poker at major UK tournaments by playing events online at skypoker.com. He will be appearing at Sky Poker Tour events across the country and playing at skypoker.com under his familiar alias of ‘yoyo’ – a name he was given by his fellow pros because of the way his chipstack goes up and down like a yo-yo, usually up! Julian will be making regular appearances on Sky Poker’s TV channel (Sky Channel 865) alongside its regular team of presenters and analysts including Tony ‘Tikay’ Kendall. Tikay said “I’ve known Julian for many years now and I’m genuinely thrilled about him joining the team. It’s a great opportunity for Sky Poker players to learn from and play with one of the most talented players the UK has ever seen. He’s very well loved and respected in the poker community and will be a fantastic ambassador for Sky Poker”. A full diary of events that Thew will be representing Sky Poker at will be announced soon. He will be playing the 2011 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in July. Title: Re: Hey there Mr Thew Sky Post by: TightEnd on April 19, 2011, 11:18:47 AM Well done Julian!
