Igor Kurganov Joins PokerStars Team Pro; Marcelo Mesqueu wins BSOP Main Event

Igor Kurganov joins his partner Liv Boeree as a member of PokerStars Team Pro, and Marcelo Mesqueu wins BSOP Main Event.

With 888Poker and partypoker busy in the Ambassador transfer market, I knew it wouldn’t be long before PokerStars brought their interview panel out of retirement. Online Poker Room Ambassador web pages always need a spit wash, and PokerStars has done that by bringing Igor Kurganov into the fold, and it’s a great signing.

The Russian has won over $12m playing in games that gain the most exposure via digital media. In that sense, having a walking talking billboard sitting in the games is good for marketing.

What is also good for marketing is his position in the Global Poker League (GPL). Both Kurganov and his partner, Liv Boeree, represent the London Royals and that’s also great exposure for PokerStars.
