Heartland Poker Tour (HPT) just announced a deal with 2009 WSOP runner-up Darvin Moon who will serve in an official capacity as tour ambassador for the year. Moon is scheduled to play several HPT events and wear HPT gear any time he plays. “Darvin is our kind of guy,” said HPT President Todd Anderson, “He’s worked hard his entire life and now lives the dream that attracts so many to the game.” From a $130 satellite tournament into the WSOP and a second place finish in the main event, Moon is the kind of person to which HPT caters. “I’m very comfortable with the HPT folks. They’re like family,” commented Moon. “I also love the work they do for veterans.” The announcement comes as a surprise because Moon has avoided publicity and refused lucrative sponsorship dollars in the past.
