He's from a large emerging country which has experienced a prolonged period of strong economic growth, and which is currently underrepresented in the poker show-business. This means he's a highly marketable 'ambassador' for PokerStars.

Elbonia?

Lol, I was thinking it had to be Eastern Europe. He doesn't look Brazilian.

Newsflash: probably more than half of Team PokerStars would be losing players online.

They're not picked because they're good online players, they're picked mostly because they're famous and can be representatives for places around the world. Most have also had a lot of live play success.

If they picked the best online players, nobody would have ever heard of them and it wouldn't make Stars any money.
