Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier (PokerStars) defeated Victor  ‘Isildur1’ Blom (Full Tilt Poker) 3-0. 

Isaac ‘Ike’ Haxton (PokerStars) defeated Tom ‘durrrr’  Dwan (Full Tilt Poker) 2-1.  Daniel ‘Kid Poker’ Negreanu (PokerStars) defeated Gus Hansen  (Full Tilt Poker) 3-0.  Each of the PokerStars players has won $50,000 from their Full  Tilt Poker opponent.  In addition, Full Tilt Poker will be paying  $10,000 of tournament buy-ins to each member of the victorious  team. 

This glorious victory is the perfect warm-up for Negreanu, Haxton  and Grospellier ahead of the European Poker Tour London main  event.  Each PokerStars player will be playing in Day 1B of EPT  London tomorrow (Monday, 11 March).  Each match consisted of three single-table heads up tournaments  played simultaneously.  The Full Tilt players only managed to win  one of the nine tournaments – a comprehensive demolition by the  superior PokerStars players who were better prepared.  “I did predict a 3-0 sweep!  Really proud of my team, and  preparing for the match was a great bonding and learning  experience.  The whole team contributed, even those that didn’t  play, including Vanessa Selbst, Eugene Katchalov and Jason  Mercier,” said Team PokerStars Captain Daniel Negreanu. 

“I’m really proud of how prepared Team PokerStars was,” he  added.  It is understood that the vanquished Full Tilt Poker team will be  licking their wounds tonight, but already the defeated team are  seeking a re-match to avenge their loss.  About PokerStars PokerStars operates the world’s most popular online poker  sites, serving a global poker community of more than 50 million  registered members.
