Full Tilt Poker’s hold on poker on television keeps getting stronger. Already the lead sponsor of NBC’s Poker After Dark, the online poker giant announced yesterday that FullTiltPoker.net will be the exclusive educational poker sponsor for the World Poker Tour Season VII episodes airing on Fox Sports Net.

Full Tilt Poker will receive a title sponsorship and will have their brand prominently featured in all 26 episodes set to air on FSN. Any in-show educational elements will be sponsored by FullTiltPoker.net.

“We are delighted to be in partnership with FullTiltPoker.net” and bring together two very strong brands with proven global reach and loyal network of poker fans,” said Steve Lipscomb, WPTE founder, president and CEO. ”With WPT’s incredible brand value and TV distribution through FSN coupled with FullTiltPoker.net’s massive online following, this partnership opens more channels to reach new fans and continue feeding the appetite for new poker content.”

The move further signals WPT’s surrender of their presence in the online poker market. WPT Online, the online poker room operated by the company in markets outside of the U.S.A., is set to close later this month. The subscription-based ClubWPT.com is expected to stay in business.
