Spanish Brothers Antonio And Bruno Naves Will Set All Brotherly Bonds Aside This August At The Asian Poker Tour In Macau.
Titan Poker, the largest online poker room on the iPoker Network, is sending 2 talented brothers to China this August for the second
stop on the 2008 Asian Poker Tour in Macau (APT Macau).
Antonio Naves, 31, and his younger brother Bruno, 25, from Spain, have been playing poker for four years and signed up for the action at Titan Poker's tables about two years ago. In July, Bruno won his seat to China at one of Titan Poker's online APT Macau Super Satellites. Not wishing to be outshone by his younger sibling, Antonio won his $9,000 prize package to APT Macau just a month later.
Antonio commented: "Knowing that my brother would be at the tournament was definitely an incentive for me. However, we never really imagined that we would both qualify at the same time and for such a big and important tournament!"
Despite the fact that they don't often play together as Antonio specializes in lengthy, measured Hold'em tournaments and Bruno prefers fast-paced Sit 'N Go's, they have previously competed together at the Spanish Poker Cup in Madrid and are both thrilled at the prospect of playing against each other again.
Bruno added: "I'm very excited about going to this tournament, especially because my brother will be there. Our family and friends can't believe that we're both going all the way to Macau to compete in this amazing poker tournament!"
Both brothers share similar estimations of their comparative poker talents, with Antonio admitting that his younger brother is the 'better player' and Bruno announcing: "I'm the best player of the two". This conviction will be put to the test on the 26th of August as they fly to China for their share of the APT Macau's $1,500,000 guaranteed prize pool.
