UltimateBet.com, have announced the addition of poker’s newest rising star Devin Porter and Swedish powerhouse Johan Storakers to their already impressive line-up of poker pros.
Leading the Scandinavian poker vanguard is Johan Storakers who has cashed well over a million dollars in poker winnings since hitting the tournament trail. The 35-year-old attributes his poker talent to playing and teaching chess at an early age. “I've always enjoyed strategy games,' he said. “Once I began to learn the strategy and mathematics in poker I was hooked and have been ever since.'
The second addition is Devin Porter who quit the security of an office job to play professionally. Within his first six months as a pro, he finished fourth in UltimateBet.com's Aruba Classic, earning $200,000 and also netted a third place finish at the WPT Mirage Poker Classic, adding another $ 333,000 to his burgeoning bankroll.
'With the additions of Storakers and Porter, UltimateBet is attracting younger players who not only love the game, but who can use these pros as a role model of young fearless and talented players,” said Chris Welch MD of UltimateBet's marketing agency.
The duo will join the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke and Antonio Esfandiari on the UltimateBet.com roster.
