Bet365.com Names its New Ambassador

The online casino Bet365.com has named its new ambassador. The site chose the twenty four year old Danish man, Jesper Hougaard as its new poker ambassador. Although he is pretty young, this gentleman has accomplished much in his life. He was a bracelet winner at the World Series of Poker in 2008, which is no small task. He was not always a poker player though. Hougaard is a former professional Ping Pong player and coach for the Danish National team.

So, how did he go from ping pong to poker? The two are not really correlated by any means, but the Copenhagen native credits his friend Gus Hansen. Hansen is a professional poker player respected in the land and online casino realm. Bet365.com has made sure that this World Series of Poker Champion has a busy year. His duties include partaking in bounty tournaments at the website’s online casinos which are held every two weeks. He will also be representing Bet365.com when he plays in land based tournaments which include the European Poker Tour.

Hougaard won his World Series of Poker bracelet earlier in the summer in Las Vegas. The name of the game was Texas Hold ‘Em… the rules were $1,500 with no limit. As if winning a prestigious title wasn’t enough, Hougaard also won $610,000 to top it all off. Hougaard will have a blog on the online casino’s website so you can track his progress, experiences, and he’ll also fill all the Bet365.com fans in with some strategy and tricks of the trade.
