Full Tilt Red Pros Lose Big in August: Including Possible New Red Pro Tom Dwan

To say the August was a particularly harsh month for the Full Tilt Red Pro Team is like saying the weather this summer was particularly mild – a major understatement if ever there was one.

Patrik Antonius, for example, was down $576,000 for the month. Even November Niner Phil Ivey himself lost $1.8 million – hopefully he’s getting all the losing out of his system before the 2009 WSOP Main Event Final Table rolls around. The Great Dane, Gus Hansen took the hugest hit though – losing $3 million in one month.

Even Tom ‘Durrrr’ Dwan was down in August, to the tune of around $400,000. But he’s not a Full Tilt Red Pro Team member, you say. Which brings us to the next part of this story. The player made famous through the self-promotional mastery of his Tom Dwan’s Million Dollar Challenge is the latest big name poker pro who Full Tilt is courting. And all signs are pointing to a likelihood as huge as the FullTilt Red Pros’ losses last month that Tom Dwan will indeed accept Full Tilt’s sponsorship and allow himself to be signed on to the Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Team. In fact, a Facebook page on Phil Ivey that Bluff Magazine gives the thumbs-up to for reputability says it’s already a done deal.

Meanwhile, as we await the announcement, a player who made started some big Full Tilt buzz abuzzing with his shielded identity and his big winning streak is known solely by his (or her) username “martonas”. Well, martonas made Full Tilt news again in August by hopping on the pros’ bandwagon and losing big – $700,000 big.
