Back in late November we made a post about Jimmy Fricke emailing Full Tilt Poker for a sponsorship. You can find the story/post here. Anyways, after he wrote an email to Full Tilt, he was responded with a automated no thank you. However, the Full Tilt rep accidentally forwarded the response from Howard Lederer. This JD asked Howard what his thoughts were on this Fricke guy. Howard called Fricke a “freak” and “very weird dude”. Yeah, we are thinking exactly what you are thinking right now, who the fuck does Howard Lederer think he is? (Obviously someone who can’t play outside the box. - Phil Hellmuth)

Back to the story, Fricke was back playing in the Aussie Millions after he took second place in the Main Event the year before. He ended up winning a preliminarily event and took home close to $15k. The event was a $550 Limit 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/lo and Razz. I bet Full Tilt could of received a lot of extra promotion since Fricke won another event, not to mention a large banner on his clothing…
