Some Shots of the Players' Lounge

One of the best experiences of the Full Tilt Poker UKIPT Galway Festival is that participants get the chance to play against some tops pros. Of course that applies on the poker felt, but also to games of a different variety such as billiards, video games and air hockey.

More times than not FTP Professional Gus Hansen is in the Players’ Lounge playing billiards and backgammon against poker pros and fans alike. According to the Full Tilt Poker Blog, at one point Hansen challenged FTP UKIPT ambassador Sinem Melin to a game of pool. She declined, but the two did form an alliance to play doubles and take on any challengers. During that time Hansen rushed back and forth between the billiards table and the poker tournament he was playing.

Anyway, here are some shots of the Players' Lounge here at the FTP UKIPT Galway.
