(Fake) Breaking News: Jim Bechtel ’93 Signs With Ultimate Bet

Pokerati continues to be all over the banner sponsorship deals taking shape at this year’s WSOP, particularly amongst former main event champions from the early ’90s whose banners happen to be hanging right above the press box.
Said the fabric of Jim Bechtel’s image about the surprise deal he inked with Ultimate Bet: “It’s a proud day when a guy like me gets to be on the same team as Tiffany Michelle and Hollywood Dave. I also think Annie got totally screwed on the Apprentice!”

Well at least Jim Bechtel’s Sponsorship request was not shot down like mine was from Pokerati… I guess since Dan is a great judge of talent and decided to pass on sponsoring me in the $1500 event I guess I have to go with my second offer and take the Deal that a well known online site is offering me.. But would have rather been part of Team Pokerati…

Bundas, I don’t think you are getting the way it works around here at Pokerati.
I can offer you a special deal where we will only require a small percentage of your winnings in exchange for a patch.

Dan, You have to be a Genius to come up with the idea to get the players to pay you to wear the patch… Keep the idea to your self though I’m sure there are many poker players that would hate for it to catch on..
That’s why I love this site the Management always thinking out side the box!!
