Darvin Moon and Heartland Poker Tour
In the years since the Heartland Poker Tour’s inception, the tour has not sponsored a player. In the time since Darvin Moon became the runner up in the World Series of Poker Main Event (WSOP), he’s not accepted a single sponsorship offer. Together they are forging an attention catching team.
Darvin Moon was deemed by many as unable to be signed, because he refused sponsorship as a member of the November Nine. With his home town feel and attitude, Moon was quoted as saying, “I don’t want a boss. I’ve come this far on my own; I don’t want to answer to anybody now.” He called the shots that brought him all the way to the final table and had no plans to change that at the final table.
Since that time, Darvin has found a comfortable match among the people of the Heartland Poker Tour. He believes they represent the perfect fit for his lifestyle. No one doubts that Darvin Moon is one of the hardest working names in poker today. This, of course, refers to outside of the poker industry as a whole. This long time Maryland logger ran his own business for many years before competing in the 2009 WSOP main event. His general disposition has not changed from that of the hardworking American man, competing for the pleasure of the game and the win.
Todd Anderson, president of the Heartland Poker Tour (HPT), believes Darvin is the right kind of guy to represent their brand. In the eyes of Mr. Anderson, Darvin is the hardworking man who now lives the dream many people seek when playing the game of Texas Holdem.
In the years to come, Darvin Moon will wear the HPT brand and play in their live events. He will become the face of the Heartland Poker Tour. This is something both parties are looking forward to.
