First English Poker Pro Signed at Poker Stars

While Poker Stars has been called an international poker company, the company of pros comprising Team Poker Stars has been fairly lopsided. While the most recent and defending World Series of Poker Champion, Australian Joe Hachem, ranks among them, they are mostly an American bunch. Now they have added an Englishman in the body of Arshad Hussain, a 32-year-old father of two who came to the attention of Poker Stars after hitting second in a worldwide poker event, capturing 345,000 pounds in prize money.Hussain, after his success, told a newspaper that it would be a dream come true to be sponsored by Poker Stars. A few months later a deal was presented, and now Hussain is part of the Team.
