Biography

Aaron Barone is a Canadian poker player and Twitch streamer who is part of 888poker’s Stream Team.

“I started off playing live poker with friends around the kitchen table,” Barone told PokerNews. “I was awfully competitive and one of the main reasons I put a lot of effort into my game wasn’t to make money, but to beat one friend of mine in particular. I couldn’t stand the smug look on his face when he dragged pots, and I knew there’d be less of it if I was the one with all the chips!”

Eelis Parssinen

Wed, 10 Jan 2024 07:26:17 +0000

Biography

Eelis Parssinen is a Finnish poker player. In 2021, he won his first World Series of Poker bracelet.

Before his bracelet victory, Parssinen had a reputation as an online poker crusher, with victories in the Poker Masters PLO Seriesand European Poker Tour Online and several other major cashes on GGPoker and partypoker.

His bracelet came in Event #64: $5,000 Mixed No-Limit Holdem/Pot-Limit Omaha for $545,616.

I dont play these live tournaments too often. I wouldnt consider myself as a live player, Parssinen said. I like to play live, but, I mean, this is my fifth WSOP tournament ever and there is so much luck involved.

Mon, 25 Dec 2023 06:26:53 +0000

Biography

Kannapong Thanarattrakul is a professional poker player hailing from Bangkok, Thailand, and a member of the Natural8 ambassador team.

Thanarattrakul enjoyed several live poker tournament cashes between 2018-2022 but drew a blank in 2021 like many live poker grinders, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, upon his return to live tournaments, Thanarattrakul exploded onto the scene in 2022.

A popular Twitch streamer, Veldhuis regularly broadcasts his play to thousands of viewers on his Twitch channel.

“Ive been fortunate to have a few deep runs in COOP in the last few years, but my word, it feels like youre in a stadium full of people,” he told PokerNews in 2021.

“At a certain point, thats kind of what it is as well. Its just really crazy. You stream for those moments, you really do. In terms of poker results, you really want to have top-three finishes or win a tournament to have that insane absolution of the end. But in a stream, even if youre in the last seven or eight and have an insane stream with 20-30,000 watching, it can already make you feel like youve won the Champions League!”
