Frank Sorenson is a 31-year old poker player from Copenhagen, who has just won a $20,000 sponsorship package in Betfair Poker's Iron Man Challenge. Sorenson, who currently drives a school bus and coaches a local football team, will be representing Betfair Poker at tournaments worldwide after he won the site's Iron Man Challenge. Betfair featured the challenge as part of its'12 Plays of Christmas', which was a hunt for the site's highest-level tournament player. The player was selected based on their consistency of performance in daily $15,000 and $10,000 guaranteed tournaments. Sorenson comments on his win, "I didn't realize how well I was doing until a friend saw my name on the leader board." "I love coaching the football team but this maybe the time to hang up the bus keys and concentrate on my poker," he added. Sorenson will be joining Betfair's established group of professional poker players at live events around the world. Betfair Poker was originally launched in 2004, and has been one of the fastest growing poker rooms on the Internet, and one of the busiest online rooms in Europe. They offer games to suit every player's ability, with the best value for poker tournaments anywhere online.
