Betfair Asian Poker Tour to Have Great Dane

The man known as either "The Great Dane" or "The Trashman", depending on who is labeling him, has announced that he will represent Full Tilt Poker's team of pro poker players at the Betfair Asian Poker Tour, the first major poker tournament in Singapore. Gus Hansen, known for taking increadble risks at the poker table and backgammon board alike, will appear at the $5000 buy-in event, taking place this November 12-17. With a prize pool topping $1 million, Hansen is going to have tough competition, including Willie Tann, Bengt Sonnert, Thomas "Buzzer" Bhil and Ben "Milkybarkid" Grundy. The Betfair Asian Poker Tour is significant also because poker has always been illegal in Singapore.
