It takes a lot of skill and finesse to garner enough positive attention to earn a spot on one of the top online casino’s teams. And that is exactly what an online casino player named Billy Kopp is in possession of that helped to set him apart from his competitors to earn an impressive spot on the UltimateBet.com’s formidable Team UB. This collection of professional players would strike fear and shame into thei eharts of the average casino poker gambler, but Billy Kopp is up to the challenge. This means that he will be playing alongside the likes of professional poker players, and, let’s face it, legends, Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke.

What has happened for Billy Kopp is the dream of most any fan of poker and online casinos. It would seem almost too good to be true but since Kopp wowed the crowd in his performance at the most recent World Series of Poker held in the heart of Las Vegas, he has been on a roll. Kopp was able to finish in the 12th spot at that competition. When you think about the fact that the best of the best poker players from all over the world were joined there to go for the glory, coming out among the top 12 contenders when all is said and done is a truly remarkable feat.

Obviously, he garnered a lot of attention for how well he was able to do. He does not take any of this positive recognition for granted and is extremely pleased and excited to be a part of the poker team magic at UltimateBet.com. He was so close to earning a spot in the main event which is scheduled to take place later on this fall, but it just didn’t happen this time. It did, however, leave a fierce fire in his belly that he will try to direct in an effective way when the World Series of Poker 2010 rolls around next summer.

It seems that there is going to be a new face in the world of online casinos and poker rooms as the clever folks behind the scenes at Absolute Poker have decided to invite the actress and model Lacy Jones to be part of their team. Now, among online casino and poker players, the professional team sponsored by Absolute Poker has been able to build up a pretty solid reputation since it first got started. There is already a lot of potential there since Absolute Poker, part of the Cereus Poker Network, was able to snag the 24-year-old poker player Matt Vengrin not too long ago. Things are really starting to come together for the poker gaming site.

Out of all the online casinos and poker rooms out there, Absolute Poker really tries to do a good job of making sure that they are able to stay competitive in the industry and extend the reach of their brand into new territory at all times. With Lacy Jones as a new member of their professional poker team, the sky is the limit for where this casino poker operator can go. Some of you may already be familiar with Jones since she once was a cover girl for Bluff Magazine.

Jones, for her part, is super excited and eager to dive right into the casino and poker gaming scene. This new position will allow her to gain a serious insider perspective on the business and also help hone her already formidable talent that she possesses as a poker player. She is confident that she will be a good fit for the Absolute Poker team and that they will be able to achieve a lot working in tandem together.
