Lock Poker has added two more American poker players to its list of sponsored poker players. The LockPoker website now boasts a LockPro Elite team of 21 professionals.
The first addition to the LockPro Elite team is Jason Lee. He is a native of Florida State and has earned over $3 million in his online career. Additionally, he has earned $400,000 in live tournament play. Most of that tournament money comes from a third-place finish at EPT Villamoura in 2010. Also, Lee has been featured in a Time Magazine article entitled “Attack of the Math Brats” in 2011. He is definitely a strong addition to LockPro Elite.
Tim West hails from Los Altos, California where he began as a limit holdem player. His pursuit of becoming a professional poker player began at PartyPoker when he turned a $150 buy-in into $40,000. West has also made more than $3 million in his online career. He’s earned $1.6 million in live tournament play with a $300,000 win in the 2011 Wynn Classic Main Event. He also placed second at the Bellagio Five Diamond Classic for $180,000. At the ripe age of 26 years-old, West will definitely be a large part of the poker community for years to come.
Lock Poker is one of the biggest names in American online poker. It is a very smart move on their part to add two of the best, young American poker professionals to their roster.
