Betfair has been buiulding up quite an impressive line-up of professional poker players in recent days. While their team has always been highly regarded in the world of online casinos and poker rooms they have raised their stakes and have managed to sign on even bigger names to their already respectable roll-call. Most recently, the people at Betfair have got Peter Jepsen to climb on board along with Annette Obrestad, John Tabatabai and Sorel Mizzi. These players are well known in the industry for taking no prisoners and for possessing some highly coveted online casino and poker skills.

You may recognize Jepsen’s name for he was the Danish guy who so famously fought hard and marched on to the ultimate victory at the 2007 European Poker Tour Polish Open. Who could forget that impressive performance? That magical win earned him a stellar $423,000. In a heads-up match he got the best of a French casino player named Farid Meraghni and never looked back. And the year before that back in 2006, Jepsen was able to finish third in the Caribbean Poker Classic and that earned him about $165,000. Everyone involved in this addition to Betfair is extremely pleased with this development.

As far as online casinos and poker rooms go, it can be vitally important to have strong players representing you on the international poker tournament schedule and Jepsen is a formidable player who has already demonstrated his worth a great many times in a variety of competitions all over the world. This relationship is set to last at least the next two years and it will be highly beneficial to both parties.
