There are changes at Betfair Towers as they appoint a new Director of Poker, Bruce Stubbs, who will take up the position immediately.

Bruce comes to Betfair having been part of the online poker phenomenon since its infancy and was previously Marketing Director at Paradise Poker.

His most recent role was as Project Manager on Betfair’s behalf for the World Series of Poker Europe presented by Betfair.com where he played an instrumental role in the tournament’s success. Bruce also played a key behind-the-scenes role in securing Betfair Poker’s high profile sponsorship of 19 year-old Norwegian poker pro Annette Obrestad.
