On Saturday, April 6, 2013, IveyPoker announced the addition of another member to its squad in Nicolas Cardyn. With just over $730,000 in live tournament earnings, Cardyn became the 33rd member of Team Ivey, joining recent additions Allen Kessler and Lucille Cailly to boost the already impressive roster.
Cardyn's live poker career began with a bang as he finished runner-up to Nacho Barbero in the 2010 Latin American Poker Tour Punta del Este Main Event for $161,550. That result was in February that year, and Cardyn added two more sizable scores in October worth €135,470 and €24,000 thanks to two more runner-up finishes at the Belgian Open Poker Championship.
Other cashes on Cardyn's record include events on the European Poker Tour, the World Poker Tour and the World Series of Poker. Cardyn has three WSOP cashes to his name, including an 11th-place finish in the 2012 WSOP Europe Main Event worth €52,416.
"I feel really honored and proud to join the best poker team in the world," commented Cardyn on the signing. "I can’t wait until IveyPoker launches!"

despite of the impressive amount of pro's that team ivey has, it will have an uphill task to get a decent share of the online poker market...from a players point of view i don't give a sh1t even if pope and justin bieber joins team ivey...if they they give some ndb or run great promos- i might hop in, but once that is over i think majority of players will flood back to stars...

G'day mate I think you are 100% correct about that fact.
