Hello everybody! Another new player! This is a very impressive player who is sponsored by PokerStars or fulltilt. I would like to know how. See you soon for a new post lol!
Welp, I am only commenting on this 6 years later 'cuz it was linked under the article about David's recent tv carrier... Cuz David no longer PS Pro so he needs gigs in a damn cooking show while Vanessa just vacationing in Greece to rest after her hard work... Not to be a sexist here but to be quite honest I'd rather see the other way around - wondering what could Vanessa do with a wooden spoon in her hands and how would David fair well with some greek hotties while enjoying the sunset on the coast of Santorini.

Wow! M amazed at some of the comments here. Put yourself in the place of pokerstars and consider who would you choose so that you maximise your appeal across the genders and the ages and the various groups that are discovered in society today and then you might understand why different types of people get such contracts.

Selbst is a verry good Player since a Long time and thats nice that she have this good contract with Stars. She is a verry serious poker pro and we never heard about scandals. Williams had a big winnin last week, but i never heard about him before.
