Aussies Announced as Full Tilt Poker ANZPT Ambassadors

Level 3 : 1,500/300, 0 ante
Australia's New Full Tilt Poker ANZPT Tour Ambassadors
Australia's New Full Tilt Poker ANZPT Tour Ambassadors

A little bit of a shock announcement was made earlier today. APPT President Danny McDonagh got on the microphone and told the room that two players in today's field are now Full Tilt Poker ambassadors for the ANZPT. The players he was referring to were Tom Grigg and Liam O'Rourke. McDonagh also told the room that fellow Aussie Jonathan Karamalikis would join O'Rourke and Grigg as part of the Full Tilt Poker team.

Grigg has made four ANZPT / APPT final tables in the past, but is probably better known for his exploits in online poker where he plays under the screen name "tollgate". O'Rourke is also more known for his online results where he plays as "MON3Y$HOT". O'Rourke also finished 3rd in an ANZPT Gold Coast Main Event in 2010 and then finished runner-up in the 2012 ANZPT Sydney Main Event.

Karamalikis is easily the highest profile of these three players with numerous results in live poker all around the world, along with crushing online as "xMONSTERxDONGx". Karamalikis is also no stranger to Full Tilt Poker, being a "Red Pro" in the years prior to the events of Black Friday.

As ANZPT "Tour Ambassadors", Grigg, Karamalikis and O'Rourke will represent the Full Tilt Poker brand in events all over the Asia-Pacific. They will also play online at Full Tilt Poker as "Red Pros."
