Prostaker Launches Hunt for Poker's Next Big Thing

LONDON, August 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Could you be the new Viktor Blom or Phil Ivey?

An online poker site with a difference is seeking the rising stars of poker and offering them the backing they need to reach the next level in the world's most popular card game.  Prostaker is looking for players who know their implied odds from their pot odds and their outs from their all-ins, with real-money backing on the table for the select few who make it through.

Prostaker offers a comprehensive package of mentoring and training for players who complete a rigorous selection procedure on the six major poker networks it partners with. Those who are selected receive training and mentoring from leading experts and the thrill of playing online poker at the highest level.

"This is the best staking deal in the business," said Niclas Antonsson, spokesperson for Prostaker. "It's a new concept that offers aspiring poker professionals the training and support they need to truly excel and, when they make the grade, we put our money where our mouth is and stake them online and in major tournaments."

Prostaker has grown rapidly since its launch in 2007 and a new generation of players is now being sought to help it reach new heights in the world of poker. One of the programme's most successful students is Johan Wehle, who has played with Prostaker for two years and was recently staked in the WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas.

Johan said: "Being a Prostaker sponsored player has given me such an amazing career boost, allowing me to concentrate on my poker knowing that I am staked and backed by professionals. I was playing well and had come close a few times in the past but I needed some mentoring to truly take control of my play.

"I knew I was good but I also lacked the confidence that comes from a secure bankroll. Since partnering with the Prostaker team, I've tripled my online earnings and ventured out into live poker events with encouraging results, while also playing for high stakes online. I'm truly living the dream!"
