Japanese star Kosei Ichinose, and the Australian Adrian Attenborough have both joined the Asian-facing online poker room Natural8 as part of Team Hot.

The Asian-facing online gambling outfit Natural8 has beefed up their rank and file hoping to make a bigger impact at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) with Kosei Ichinose and Adrian Attenborough joining the team.

Japanese export, Ichinose, is currently ranked #4 in the Japanese Global Poker Index (GPI) rankings and holds the exalted claim to fame of being the first Japanese player to make SuperNova Elite, earning his stripes back in 2010.

Ichinose has won close to $500,000 in live tournaments, including a victory in the recent Poker King Cup in the Venetian Macau for $43,000. His largest live score came in November when he finished third for $83,296 in a Warm Up Event at the 2016 Asia Championship of Poker (ACOP).
