TOP INTERNET POKER PLAYER JOINS BETFAIR
22 February 2008
Imper1um joins Annette Obrestad as betting group's
latest star signing
He’s young, he’s unbelievably talented and he’s already
got the world of online poker buzzing - Canadian online
poker player Sorel Mizzi (aka Imper1um) has become the
newest member of Team Betfair.
With World Series of Poker Europe winner Annette
Obrestad already a Betfair pro, the signing of
‘Imper1um’ takes Betfair closer to "...creating a team
that we believe will be the dominant force in poker for
the next decade," says a company spokesman.
Still only 21, Mizzi’s list of achievements is
impressive. In February 2007, Poker Verdict called him
the best online poker player on the planet;
PocketFives.com ranked him number one in the online
poker world and his third place finish in the Irish Open
helped him cash $600 000 in his first year of live
tournament play.
“Overall 2007 was a great year for me and by joining
Betfair Poker in 2008 I’m getting in with a team which
not only has a great reputation but more importantly,
it’s going places," Mizzi commented.
Bruce Stubbs, Betfair’s Head of Poker, says: “I am proud
to add a player like Sorel Mizzi to our team. He is
regarded as one of the best online tournament players in
the world by many and has the results to prove it.”
