Author and journalist Maria Konnikova becomes PokerStars Ambassador

“I’m so excited to officially be joining PokerStars,” said Konnikova. “I’ve worked really hard at learning the game but I never thought this would happen – it’s been an incredible experience. I’m very lucky to be offered this opportunity and I can’t wait to see what my future holds with PokerStars.”
