Betfair Poker wants you to join the New Breed of poker players, and they are putting $20k on the line to convince you to do so.
New Breed
The New Breed of poker players are – according to Betfair Poker – young bluffers who live a life of online adventure. The leaders of the New Breed movment are:
Annette Obrestad aka 'Annette_15' – the quiet, unassuming Norwegian won the World Series of Poker Europe at the age of just 18.
Sorel Mizzi, aka 'Imper1um' – could that relaxed, laidback Canadian really be the terror of the poker tables – winning over $ 1,000,000 offline in 2008 alone?
John Tabatabai aka 'kunku wap' – meet him face to face and you’d trust him with your Granny, face up to him at the tables and you can expect a poker lesson you won’t forget.
Peter Jepsen aka 'PeterJepsen' – Team Betfair Pro's newest member was involved in one of the largest online hand in history when he scooped $ 499,000 in under a minute.
