To Capitalize On A Stellar 2008 Long
gone are the days when being a professional gambler is viewed in a negative context.
No more is it viewed as a sleazy profession. Today, poker professionals are held
in high esteem with many holding celebrity status. They earn lucrative endorsement
deals and have regular media presence through television, press and online. One
such professional poker players is Julian Thew of Britain sponsored by William
Hill Poker Club. It
was a very productive 2008 for Thew. He cashed in major tournaments no less than
ten times including victories in the Deep Stack Extravaganza III in Las Vegas
and the GUKPT Brighton Leg. These victories together with other cashes, saw his
total tournament prize money for 2008 reach just under half a million dollars. Since
2003, Thew has amassed some key wins, the biggest and most prestigious of which
came back in 2007, with his victory in the EPT Baden Classic which netted him
a nice pay cheque of € 670,800. Thew has also shown himself to be quite successful
on the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) taking out the Plymouth Leg in 2007 and
the 2006 Grosvenor Grand Challenge in Luton. He currently sits second on the GUKPT
All Time Ranking List and 24th overall on the EPT all time money list. His total
tournament prize money exceeds $2.3 Million. Julian
Thew has been sponsored by William Hill Poker Club since 2004. About
