InterPoker.com Extreme Team Signs Online Poker Sensation Jordan Morgan
LONDON, Aug. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Inter
Poker.com, the home of aquatic,
arctic and airborne poker excitement, announced today the signing of poker
professional
Jordan Morgan, one of the most fearless, dangerous young
players in professional poker. Having made a name for himself in the online
poker community with his calculating play, Morgan is ranked in the top ten
worldwide for online play and has one of the largest online followings of
any poker professional in the world.
"Jordan is one of the best players of his generation -- he bets wisely,
and plays very aggressively when the odds are in his favor," said
Inter
Poker.com spokesperson Peter Marcus. "Jordan is the perfect addition
to the Inter
Poker.com Extreme Team, as he is young, energetic and has a
wonderful rapport with the online poker community."
Having unofficially started his poker career at the age of 18 as an
engineering student at the University of Oklahoma, in nickel and dime games
with friends, Jordan learned that he had a knack for games of strategy.
After a few years of college, Jordan realized he wanted to dedicate more
time to poker, and less time to physics and equations. After regularly
leaving victorious from neighborhood private poker games, a friend noticed
Jordan's ability to dominate the competition and suggested he test his luck
in a professional tournament. Within two years, Jordan had made himself a
household name within the community and collected purses upward of $50,000.
Although Jordan began his poker career exclusively online, his focused
play and cool demeanor have produced the same winning results in live
tournaments. After several top finishes on the professional poker circuit,
Jordan blew away his competitors at the 2006 World Series of Poker with
over $100,000 in prize winnings, thus establishing himself as a world-class
tournament player.
"I am delighted to be part of one of the most respected online poker
rooms in the world, especially since most of my success has come within the
online world," said Morgan. "With InterPoker, it is apparent that they
truly care about providing players with a safe, exciting and, above all,
genuine poker experience on the web, and I am extremely pleased to be
associated with them."
With the support of wife Casey and two English Bulldogs Bud and Zuzu,
Jordan plans to move up the professional poker ladder with his purses
acting as his only source of income. With the help of the InterPoker
Extreme Team and his mentor and fellow team member
Scott Fischman, Jordan
is destined for the professional poker elite. For more information on the
