Many articles posted on the internet regarding Sky nearly all have one thing in common. Sky have for the last few years appeared to keep under the radar as far as advertising campaigns go, and gaming websites like Sky bingo, Sky Poker, and Skybet are all relatively unknown in the gaming world, despite the fact that owners BskyB are the biggest media broadcaster in the UK..
We have today acquired some information that could quite possibly be Sky’s answer to those articles, and potentially be the beginning of some form of campaign to lift Sky gamings profile..
Sky Poker have today announced the signing of UK based professional poker player Julian Thew.
The former Poker Stars Pro said "I'm delighted and excited to be asked to join Sky Poker and really look forward to representing them at various live tournaments and playing in their many online events, including the brand new Sky Roller". He added, "Sky Poker is a well-respected and trusted company with a great community of players who I'll certainly be getting to know more".
Julian Thew is without question one of the most successful UK poker players ever, with two GUKPT Titles, and EPT win alongside combined winnings estimated at over $2.5 million is considered by most as the UK’s #1 poker player.
Julian will be making regular appearances on Sky Poker's TV channel (Sky Channel 865) which already has a great presenting team including Tony 'Tikay' Kendall who has known Julian for some years and is quoted as saying that he’s thrilled at Thew joining the Sky Poker team as he has a lot of talent for Sky Poker players to learn from, as well as being a thoroughly well liked young man.
