GR88.com Announces Official “Poker” Face to it’s Growing Team

VANCOUVER November 5, 2009 – New online gaming site, GR88.com (pronounced Great Eight .Com) is proud to announce that it has retained renowned poker player, “Yukon” Brad Booth, as the site’s official spokesman and Head of Poker Development.  Known from his recurring appearances onNBC’s Poker After Dark, National Heads-Up Poker Championship and for a memorable bluff against Phil Ivey on Game Show Network’s High Stakes Poker where Brad sat down with a million dollars cash, Brad has established himself amongst the poker fans as one of their favorite Poker Pro’s to watch.  With Yukon Brad’s past experiences and incredible ability to read his opponents, he is expected to bring a fresh and unique playing style to GR88.com.  

First breaking in to poker’s elite on the forerunners of today’s modern online gaming sites like GR88.com, Brad was one of hundreds of players who fell victim to coordinated fraud by unscrupulous, cheating opponents which was documented on CBS’s 60 Minutes news program.  Because of that experience, Brad values fair gaming practices above all else, and it is this commitment that provides the foundation for his partnership with GR88.com.

“Yukon Brad’s talent, undeniable work ethic, and desire for fairness makes him the perfect partner of GR88.com.  Our site offers players around the world premium poker and casino games, programs and tournaments all set within a secure and trust-worthy environment,” says Peter Karroll, CEO of International Arts Management, the force behind GR88.com.  

Brad is a mainstay in the biggest cash games in Las Vegas casinos, playing in the staggering side action (from $10/20 No Limit Hold ‘Em to $4000/$8000 Mixed Limit games in the Bellagio’s ultra high stakes Bobby’s Room) with the world’s top players including Phil Laak, Daniel Negreanu, Antonio Esfandiari, Barry Greenstein, Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, and the late Chip Reese. Expanding upon his poker-playing repertoire, Brad has consistently dominated in side games, and whose tournament winnings approaches one million dollars.

About “Yukon” Brad Booth
Brad’s unique playing style started in his teen years when instead of attending school he spent his time playing poker in smoky underground cardrooms. Despite his young age and limited experience, Brad quickly developed an acute instinct for reading his opponents.  His swift and assertive playing style, carefree approach and effervescent personality were a few of the many attributes to catch Doyle Brunson’s eye.  After playing with Brad at the 2005 World Series of Poker, the poker legend snapped him up as a Doylesroom.com Poker Pro. Brad also appeared on multiple seasons of NBC’s Poker After Dark, and broke previous heads-up records on the show.   Brad’s most recent move was from Full Tilt Poker to GR88.com where he is the official spokesman and Head of Poker Development.
