Full Tilt has signed Marc Kennedy to be their first-ever Player Ambassador. The five times undefeated Rush High Leaderboard winner will be their ‘man on the ground’ as they aim to create a more player friendly online experience.

It’s not a hallucination. Full Tilt: the team that dropped the word poker from their name has hired Marc Kennedy to be their first-ever Player Ambassador.

It’s a fascinating narrative. Kennedy was lured into the game after watching former Full Tilt Professional Gus Hansen kicking ass on the World Poker Tour (WPT).

“This guy is just too cool.” Kennedy once told PokerNews’s Chad Holloway in an interview.
