Team PokerStars Pros in the House!

One of the reasons the WSOP $1,000 buy-in events have proved so popular is that the "average" player has the chance to play alongside their favorite pros. That is apparent today, especially when it comes to some of the Team PokerStars Pros in the field.

We've witnessed a few players happily engaged in conversation with Team PokerStars Pro (USA) Dennis Phillips, who if you recall took third in the 2008 Main Event. Likewise, Team PokerStars Pros Fatima Moreira De Melo (Netherlands), Dario Minieri (Italy), and Randy Lew (Online) have been cordial in their roles as poker ambassadors.

While not everyone can make it to Vegas to take on these pros, anyone outside the U.S. is able to play them on PokerStars. Not only that, there is a strong likelihood that these pros and others will be attending upcoming tournaments on the Latin American Poker Tour, European Poker Tour, and Asia-Pacific Poker Tour. If you want your chance to qualify there tours and take on a Team PokerStars Pro, be sure to visit PokerStars for all the details.
