Joining the team are Marcel "Flying Dutchman" Luske and Jason "treysfull21" Mercier, a young 22-year old pro from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Luske won the European Poker Lifetime Achievement last year and has become a household name across the Atlantic. He was also Europe's top ranked pro in 2001 and 2003 and rose to stardom in 2004 after making a tenth place finish at the WSOP main event.

As for Mercier, he's one of the brightest young stars in the game today. Since his first tourney appearance at the 2008 PCA, he's cashed over $3.2 Million in live tournaments and won his first WSOP bracelet just a few weeks ago in the $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha tournament (wining $237,415).

But Mercier already had the poker world's attention before that WSOP win. He won the Season Four PokerStars EPT San Remo event for $1,372,893 and followed that a few months later by finishing sixth at the PokerStars EPT Season Five event in Barcelona (winning $324,946). And if that wasn't enough, he also took down the PokerStars EPT London £1 Million Showdown High Roller tournament for a sweet $944,847!

The PokerStars announcement comes right on the heels of Team Party Poker adding three big guns to their group of sponsored players.
