PokerStars has signed two new pros to its roster: Gavin Griffin and Chad Brown.

The signings bring PS’s list of pros to 25 players, which includes Daniel Negreanu, Barry Greenstein and three World Series of Poker main event winenrs in Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer and Joe Hachem.

According to pokerstarsblog.com:

Griffin rose to fame in 2004 when, at 22 years old, he became the youngest person ever to win a World Series bracelet. After winning the EPT Grand Final, Griffin went on to win a World Poker Tour title, making him the first player to ever win the “triple crown” of poker.

Chad Brown has made a handsome living since 1993 when he first cashed in the World Series. Since then, he’s been a major player on the poker scene. Over the years, he’s been seen at many a final table, not the least of which was the 2006 World Championship of Online Poker $5,200 HORSE victory for $223,000.

Whole thing here.

Brown will play at PokerStars under the name “ChadBrownPro,” while Griffin will play under the name “GavinGriffin.”
