English pro Sam Grafton and Canada’s Parker Talbot headline the site’s latest list of recruits. Poker fans will also be familiar with André Coimbra who left Team PokerStars in 2017, but who has returned with a new focus on streaming.
Completing the lineup are three relatively unknown poker players: Lasse Jagd Lauristen, Keith Becker, and Mark Foresta. The latter two are interesting signings as they’re both Twitch streamers from Pennsylvania.

Grafton has been grinding since the early days of the poker boom. He started out playing in London’s infamous Gutshot Club before making his name online. Add to that a $1.5 million win at EPT Barcelona in 2019 and the man known as squid has earned his stripes.
Talbot may not have been around as long as Grafton, but he’s shot to prominence in the last seven years. As well as $750,000+ in live earnings, the Canadian has over $3 million in online cashes under the moniker tonkaaaaP.
