Former World Series of Poker champion Peter Eastgate has been named the latest member of Team Betfair Poker.
The 2008 Main Event winner (pictured), who has returned to the game after a hiatus of several months, is joined on Betfair’s stable of sponsored pros by fellow Danish national Stefan Raffay, an online specialist who also won the Danish Poker Championships in 2006.
Other players already sponsored by Betfair include 2007 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event runner-up John Tabatabai and former Full Tilt pro Hans Martin Vogl.
Earlier this month Betfair, part of the Ongame network, held a charity poker tournament in support of terminally ill Danish poker pro Thor Hansen.
