Online Poker Room Signs Up Duo

Leading online poker site RedKings.com has announced the sponsorship of two Singaporese professional players in advance of the upcoming twelve-day Asian Poker Tour (APT) Macau Festival. The APT Macau Festival will take place from August 12 to 23 at the Galaxy StarWorld Hotel And Casino with a buy-in set at $4,300 and RedKings.com stated that Jason Samsonov and Jeffrey Tan would be appearing at the event as part of its team. Samsonov has been making a name for himself over the past two years playing sit-and-go tables and is already well regarded for his coaching talents. For his part, Tan is a veteran of the poker scene with some 16 years of experience playing live poker in Asia. ”We are absolutely delighted to add both Jason and Jeffery to our team,” said Jani Kontturi, Marketing Manager Asia for RedKings.com. “Given our overall marketing strategy and long-term investment in Asia, we expect both players to add greatly to the impact of our promotion in the region. RedKings.com is fast becoming a worldwide brand so it was an easy decision to sign these high-profile Asian poker superstars to Team RedKings.com.” RedKings.com is partnering with the APT for the Macau event and will welcome its new duo with two online $1,000 freerolls featuring $50 bounties on every member of its team. The first event takes place this Sunday from nine o’clock in the evening London time while the second is scheduled for August 9 at the same time. RedKings.com stated that the tournaments are open to any Asian player with an account while fans can follow the exploits of Samsonov and Tan in their blog at Blogs.RedKings.com featuring live reporting and constant updates.
