PokerStars in the House!

Looking out across the tournament floor, we see Team PokerStars Pro patches scattered about like confetti.

The USA is in the house today. Defending WSOP Main Event Champion Joe Cada has scrounged together enough loose change from his couch cushions to play today's event, and he's joined by countrymen Barry Greenstein, Victor Ramdin, Jason Mercier, Gavin Griffin, and Hevad Khan.

Our neighbors to the north have sent Daniel Negreanu and Pat Pezzin down to play as well.

From France we have Arnaud Mattern, Bertrand Grospellier, and Vanessa Rousso, and the Dutch have given us Lex Veldhuis and Noah Boeken. The rest of Europe is represented by Florian Langmann (Germany), John Duthie (UK), and Ricard Toth (Hungary).

We also have Alex Kravchenko (Russia), Nacho Barbero (Argentina), and Maria "Maridu" Mayrink (Brazil) rounding out the lengthy list of Team PokerStars Pros in our field.
