Paul Waskica - Signs on with Full Tilt

April 13th 2007 - Paul Wasicka has officially joined team Full Tilt Poker. He has also hired Poker Royalty as his personal agency. They will build a stronger image and land Paul Wasicka sponsorships.

The NBC Nation Heads up Championships finished Sunday March 4th and Paul Waskica was crowned the champ. Paul has absolutely been on fire lately. He received $500,000 for the win, plus he also placed 4th at the 2007 L.A. Poker Classic which the final table finished a day before the Heads up tournament started.

Many people are asking who Paul Waskica is? He was the runner up in the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event. Paul Waskica finished 2nd next to Jamie Gold and won an outstanding $5,000,000 for 2nd place.

In the final match of the heads up tournament Paul Wasicka defeated Chad Brown winning the first 2 of the best of 3 matches. Before that he out played poker babe Shannon Elizabeth who also had an outstanding run in the tournament. At one point against Elizabeth, she had a 5:1 chip lead on Waskica. But then he went on and won 2 straight races and his aggressive style of poker eventually paid off and knocked her out of the tournament.

Paul Waskica also has been appeared on the High Stakes Poker Season 3 TV show.
