By the look of the picture, Van Marcus has already been supported by Pokerstars, so he is not properly a new pro. He can be new at FullTilt, but not at poker scene!

Fresh pros (26 and 21 years old) are the future best pros!

great news for these two players. hope they can keep it up but think fulltilt should have a mini red pro status for these kind of players to separate them from the real big guys there
I also think a mini red pro status or something would be better. I mean, some of those playyers havnt that good rsults and have the same status as durr, ect...hmmm

Seems they continue growing, nice to see, as I like more ftp then stars. And also more chance to be at the same table then a pro, is a nice offer their bounty on pro's.
