When thinking of Gus Hansen most think of poker, but the poker pro has decided to use his clout to sponsor the national Danish squash team. Those who know the poker pro, from his onlien poker exploits to his rise to fame on the WPT, may recall that the man used to be a Danish tennis player. The 37 year old loves the sport and all other racket sports. After a meeting with the Danish national team he volunteered to act as sponsor to help them.
The new sponsor of a major poker tour is an online poker room. Poker room UB.net has announced they will be the next sponsor of the Heartland Poker Tour. Poker players will see UB.net logos on display as they play in the HPT, soon to start it's seventh season of televised poker tournaments. The poker room will work in conjunction with the poker tour to bring more people to the HPT, both online and in real world conditions. UB.com poker pros may also make appearances at HPT events, possibly as targeted bounty pros
