Doyle Brunson and DoylesRoom.com management seal the deal with one of online poker’s greatest players
Las Vegas, Nevada – February 24, 2010 – After rumors that one of online poker’s most celebrated players had been scooped up by Doyle Brunson spread like wildfire on the online poker forums, DoylesRoom.com has confirmed that Alex Kamberis is the newest member of The Brunson 10, Doyle Brunson’s team of elite legends-in-the-making.
With a record as impressive as some live game players who have been playing cards for decades, the 23-year-old is the perfect addition to The Brunson 10. In 2009 alone, Kamberis cashed in over 50 online poker tournaments, collecting nearly $580,000. One year prior, his online poker winnings topped $1.5 million, making him one of online poker’s most financially successful players. It was his tremendous success in 2008 that led him to a spot at the very top of one of online poker’s most prestigious charts, Card Player’s Online Poker Player of the Year rankings.
Since beginning his career, Kamberis has won over $4 million playing online poker and live poker. His largest win to date was in a major online poker series where he collected $782,542 for a 3rd place finish.
This isn’t the first time Kamberis has played with a DoylesRoom.com patch on his arm. In 2008, he was a marked man in Doyle Brunson’s Wednesday Bounty Tournament. It was then that the online poker superstar caught the eye of poker’s biggest legend.
Stated Doyle Brunson, “I’m really excited that Alex has decided to come on board. He’s a real class act, just a real nice kid, and he’s the type of player that makes us all look forward to the next generation of poker players.”
Alex Kamberis joins Zachary Clark, Amit Makhija, Chris Moorman and Dani Stern on The Brunson 10. With five spots left on The Brunson 10, Doyle Brunson, poker’s biggest legend, will continue to handpick members for his group of young, elite poker players until the team is packed with 10 of the world’s best legends-in-the-making.
