Most of the top poker pros such as Ultimate Bet player Phil Hellmuth and Full Tilt Poker pro Phil Ivey are in Las Vegas competing in the WSOP*.  But PokerStars is trying to make sure that people have other options for winning big money with their UK and Ireland Poker Tour. The most recent stop on the UKIPT was at Killarney where 253 players competed in the Main Event poker tournament for thousands of Euros.  The most notable players in the tourney included PokerStars online poker pro Julian Thew, UKIPT Nottingham champion Andrew Couldridge, and UKIPT Coventry champ Gilles Augustus.  …

PokerStars has made a number of interesting signings over the past year including former Seinfeld star Jason Alexander, rapper Nelly, and baseball player Orel Hershiser.  And you can add one more interesting signing to PokerStars’ growing list of online poker players since they recently signed Argentina football player Juan Sebastian Verón to their roster. Verón has been a football star since 1994, and he has played a big part in Argentina’s run through the World Cup so far.  Away from the field, the two-time South American Player of the Year will also be pivotal to PokerStars’ campaign to promote internet …

Wahlbeck first caught the attention of the world’s largest online poker room when he won …

PokerStars has announced that they will be sponsoring one of the biggest motorcycle races of the year.  The race that PokerStars will be sponsoring is called the 2010 TT Races Superbike Race, and it’s held on the Isle of Man.  It certainly makes sense that the world’s largest online poker room would sponsor a motorcycle race on the Isle of Man since PokerStars is also based here. In addition to sponsoring the Superbike Race, PokerStars also made poker news by announcing that they would become the official sponsor of TT Races.  This isn’t the first foray into the motorcycle racing …
