Leading the Scandinavian poker vanguard is Johan Storakers who has cashed well over a million dollars in poker winnings since hitting the tournament trail. The 35-year-old attributes his poker talent to playing and teaching chess at an early age. �I've always enjoyed strategy games,' he said. �Once I began to learn the strategy and mathematics in poker I was hooked and have been ever since.'

The second addition is Devin Porter who quit the security of an office job to play professionally. Within his first six months as a pro, he finished fourth in UltimateBet.com's Aruba Classic, earning $200,000 and also netted a third place finish at the WPT Mirage Poker Classic, adding another $ 333,000 to his burgeoning bankroll.

'With the additions of Storakers and Porter, UltimateBet is attracting younger players who not only love the game, but who can use these pros as a role model of young fearless and talented players,� said Chris Welch MD of UltimateBet's marketing agency.

The duo will join the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke and Antonio Esfandiari on the UltimateBet.com roster.
