Excerpt from Betfair press release:
Sorel comments; “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. With Betfair backing us, I reckon Annette 15 and I have more than enough firepower to take down the big names in the world of tournament poker.”
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. Now that he has joined Team Betfair alongside poker pro Annette Obrestad I honestly believe we have the two best tournament players in the world right now. There is a new world order, look out!”
