Prima Poker’s loss is Full Tilt Poker’s gain it would appear from an announcement by the latter company this week that the famous Hendon Mob has joined its sponsored ranks. The Mob recently completed a long-running contract in which they successfully promoted Prima at championships around the world.
The Hendon Mob will now become representatives of FullTiltPoker.com, joining the stellar group of Full Tilt Poker‘s poker pros and Team Full Tilt.
The Mob has built up an enviable reputation as international ambassadors to the poker world, and includes poker pros Barny Boatman, Joe ‘The Elegance’ Beevers, Ram ‘Crazy Horse’ Vaswani and ‘Rocky’ Ross Boatman. The charismatic quartet has not only raised the stakes in the world of poker, but has also helped grow global awareness of poker as a sport.
The Hendon Mob are well known on the European poker circuit and have developed a growing presence at the top American tournaments as well. Between them, the members have earned 37 tournament titles and countless final table appearances. Their combined career earnings total more than $5.3 million.
“Having the Hendon Mob join the Full Tilt Poker family is very exciting for Team Full Tilt and will afford players on the site a unique chance to play and chat with some of the best players and ambassadors in the poker world. We are very pleased!” said Team Full Tilt member Howard Lederer.
“We are excited and honored to have been chosen by Full Tilt Poker to represent them on the European tournament circuit and beyond. We are long time admirers of the software, the style, and of course the team of top flight pros who make up Team Full Tilt,” said Barny Boatman of the Hendon Mob.
