New Poker Stars Pros
Pokerstars.com, which can claim a position as one of the largest poker sites in the world, has added new players to its roster of Team Poker Stars.
The new players will join Darus Suharto and Daniel Negreanu as members as the team and along with the two current players will represent Pokerstars.net not only in North America but throughout the world.
The Canadians added to the team include Patrick Pezzin, Marcello Del Grosso, Anh Van Nguyen and Greg DeBora. All four recently competed at the Mohegan Sun on one of the stops of the Pokerstars.net North American Poker Tour.
