The online multi-table tournament legend, Bryan Paris, has signed for the Asian facing online poker room, Natural8, as a member of Team Hot and immediately wins a tournament at his new home.

A poker player signs for a significant online poker room, and amid the congratulatory messages come the words, “I deserved it after all this hard work.”

In February, Bryan Paris became the second player behind Chris Moorman to earn $10m playing online multi-table tournaments (MTTs). You don’t hit that number while scrubbing potatoes in the back of your chip shop.
