TourneyMan on November 18th, 2009
Pretty soon you’ll be able to play in Poker Stars tournaments on your cell phone. This week, PokerStars announced its acquisition of a company named Cecure Gaming. They are makers of mobile games known for operating several popular online poker brands, including: Ladbrokes, the World Poker Tour, and Aces Royal.
And as promised in the headline to this story, PokerStars has made not one but two new acquisitions of late, the second being in the form of a new player signed onto the Team PokerStars pro team. This time it’s Jude Ainsworth of Ireland, known on the site a j.thaddeus. He will, in particular, be assigned to strengthening the Team PokerStars UK & Ireland brand.
Jude was the 2008 winner of the Irish Poker Championship (for €145,000) and the 2009 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker $10,000 Main Event (for $963,338). December 11 to 14 Jude plays in the UKIPT event in his hometown of Galway.
