He recieved his seat from Bodog, so I don't think he'll be doing too many commercials for PokerStars. As far as keeping a low profile I'm pretty sure Bodog has him by the balls on this one.
he didn't want to win for the money he has plenty. He wanted to win for his dad. He said he almost wanted to finish second because of the BS associated with first. He doesn't want to be a poker press agent or that. Bodog will stop that real soon.....
Isn't like in the contract that if you win a seat in the Main Event with a site they have the rights to get you to pretty much any commercial or endorsment they want? Seems like every site is trying to get "their" players to win the main event to give them uber publicity.

I think its like that. They pretty much get the use of your likeness in any commercial or w/e, which would make it hard to sign a deal with another site, as they would probably only want your likeness.
And yup, every site is trying to get their players to win the main event. If you notice, the site that get constant airing are the ones that are flourishing. PokerStars (PCA), Party Poker (Party Poker Million), UB (UB Aruba Classics and their other Single Table Tournaments), FTP (All those FTP Invitationals and FTP Hats everywhere), Prima (they have those POker Nigh Live shows) and $10 free offers.
Other sites like OnGame network (Pokerroom, FCP) have their commercials, but I don't think I've ever seen one on TV, and no one from PR.com ever gets on TV. Doyles Room doesn't have much exposutre, same with a lot of other sites (titan).

But, I'm more interested in the results of the HORSE tourny. Anyone have any info?

Q-9 is a GREAT hand....
Q9 will now be known as GOLD
