Online Poker News - By Jim of RakeDrop.com 4/4/2006 Evelyn Ng lands
online poker endorsement deal with BoDog.com
We received the following
press release from BoDog.com yesterday via email. Congratulations to
Evelyn Ng on this endorsement deal.
April 3 , 2006
Online gaming giant Bodog.com announced today a deal that makes
former dealer and current poker professional Evelyn Ng the
newest member of Team Bo dog. Evelyn Ng, one of the top female players in
the game, will join pros David Williams and Josh Arieh online
at the Bodog.com poker tables and at Bo dog.com events around the
world.
"It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome Evelyn Ng to our team,"
says Calvin Ayre, Founder and CEO of Bodog.com, and the subject of a
recent Forbes magazine cover story. "Evelyn Ng lives and breaths the
Bodog lifestyle, and I can't think of a better fit for our poker
team."
With her stunning looks and aggressive play, Ng has proven over and
over again that she is a formidable force within the professional circuit. Ng made an immediate impact on the game when she
first appeared on the poker scene at the 2003 inaugural WPT Ladies
Night event. She finished in second place, and has gone on to an
extremely successful career, including a recent 11th -place finish
at the WPT Borgota Poker Open, earning her just under $65, 000.
"I am very excited to be joining my good friends David Williams and
Josh Arieh at Bodog. Calvin Ayre and everyone with Bodog have made
me feel very welcome. I am positive that the Bodog lifestyle will
suit me very well, and I look forward to being a representative for
them," Evelyn Ng said.
Ng was recently on set in Costa Rica for the filming of the "Calvin
Ayre Wild CardPoker" reality show - a television series that is
slated to air on a major US cable network starting April 15, 2006.
Ng was one of the 40 cast members vying for the $500,000 grand prize
and bragging rights as TV's newest reality star. The "Calvin Ayre
Wild CardPoker" tournament features 20 Bodog.com poker players, 10
poker pros and 10 celebrity stars competing in the six-episode
weekly series.
Earlier this year, Bodog.com introduced its groundbreaking poker
software that incorporates many revolutionary additions. Among the
technological advances in the Bodog Poker Interface is a
Picture-in-Picture feature that allows players to see more than one
table at a time. Bo dog.com players can also "scoreboard watch" to
check the progress of another game while playing in their own.
Another value-added option - and a first for gaming software -
allows rounders to view and play multiple tables from one
consolidated window. This is particularly handy for players who
participate in one of the many tournaments Bodog.com hosts on
its web site.
Last year, Bodog.com guaranteed its online poker players more than
70 seats at the WSOP, a Las Vegas-based series of tournaments held
over the course of six weeks. This year, Bodog.com will be
qualifying over 10 times that amount of players for preliminary and
main WSOP events.
