  2. Thanks for posting this. Here is PocketFives' feature article about Blom and Dwan signing:

    Good signing? Do you think that high-stakes games will occur as a direct result?
     
  3. Ok, article has just been added to this site.

    Two fairly expected additions IMO. I think the relaunch is going to be great!! Oh how it sucks to be in the USA!!! :(

    I think they are both great signings. These two were invovled in some of the biggest games in the past and this sets up a nice return for nose bleed action on Full Tilt. stars are going to have a sick hold on the online poker market, that's for sure!!

    Any guesses as to who will be next? I'm thinking P Antonius.

  5. Great signings by FTP. It looks like with the 3 they have signed so far, they are looking to get the nosebleed action back on FTP right away. Antonius would make sense to add to the nose bleed pro stable of FTP pros.

    I had a feeling Bloom was going to FTP when it was announced he was no longer with pokerstars. Makes perfect sense to align him with the FTP brand name.

    Agreed, i figured he would have been the 1st one announced following him leaving PS. These moves appear to be driven primarily for getting back the high stakes action. Gotta expect to see a lot less red pro's, with primarily high stakes cash players and big household names representing full tilt.

    It says they're gonna
    “reignite a fierce competition at the highest stakes tables on the Full Tilt Poker site.”

    No wonder why Isildur1 left pokerstars in August...
  8. former usa player sad, miss reading this stuff and having an interest, miss watching some nose bleed to kill time, sad.
