Betfair are proud to announce the signing of John Tabatabai joining Sorel Mizzi and Annette Obrestad on Team Betfair.
John Tabatabai has become the latest rising young poker star to join Betfair's elite team of talent. The 23 year old takes his place alongside Sorel Mizzi and Annette Obrestad as Team Betfair.
Tabatabai's ultra aggressive style saw him quickly gain a name for himself, consistantly winning cash and going deep in several tournaments before being sponsored to play at higher limits.
John later joined the team at Badbeat and after learning to discipline his aggression has consistantly performed well ever since.
His most recent wins have been particularly impressive, coming second in the WSOPE main event after being beat by Betfair's very own Annette Obrestad, before winning the All Africa Poker Tournament in March 2008.
He is currently in Vegas for the WSOP build up and Betfair look forward to seeing great results from him. Check back soon for John Tabatabai's blog and tournament reports.
To remind us of just how nice a guy he is here's John's runner up celebrations from last year's WSOPE being interviewed by the guys from Siktilt.
