PokerStars has visited the job centre for the second time in a week, with the announcement that Twitch stars Fintan “EasyWithAces” Hand and Benjamin “Spraggy” Spragg have joined Team Online.

“It’s what I have been working towards.” Said Fintan “EasyWithAces” Hand after he was unveiled, alongside Benjamin “Spraggy” Spragg, as the two newest recruits for Team PokerStars Online.

There was a time when most young professional poker players felt like Hand. I imagine most of them still do. The days of logging on and grinding 24-tables in the midst of shitty nappies, empty cans of Red Bull, and a large flat screen showing Buffy the Vampire Slayer are long gone.

Online poker has gotten serious on us.
