Griffin, Brown Join Team PokerStars

PokerStars’ stable of resident pros may still pale in comparison to Full Tilt’s (which seems to snap up every pro imaginable), but with multiple WSOP champs and other top players such as Barry Greenstein and Daniel Negreanu, it isn’t lacking for quality. That quality just improved Friday, as PokerStars announced the addition of two more players to its lineup: Gavin Griffin and Chad Brown.

 Griffin made a splash in 2004 when he became the youngest player ever to win a WSOP bracelet, at age 22. He impressed fans and players alike with his cool demeanor and sportsmanship at the table. He’s had a fantastic run over the last year, winning the EPT Grand Final and a World Poker Tour title, making him the first player to win a WSOP bracelet, an EPT championship, and a WPT championship.

Brown, while an accomplished poker player in his own right, is probably best known by poker fans as a television poker commentator. His highest profile poker score was his runner-up finish to Paul Wasicka at the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship in 2007.
