Written by RogerCP | Monday, May 25th, 2009
RPM Poker, one of the latest online poker sites on the scene, has finally revealed its poker pros that will be representing them. With a group of 19 top players, including the likes of Aditya “Intervention” Agarwal and Mark “dipthrong” Herm, Team RPM promises to be a formidable force.
As a part of the Merge Gaming Network, RPM Poker has the expertise and infrastructure to maintain such a team – and by accepting players from the USA to play online, this online site is set to grow even more.
Leading the pack is Aditya “Intervention” Agarwal who boasts wins in the Full Tilt Poker $1K Monday and PokerStars $100 rebuy – one of the toughest online tournaments. As a regular on the live poker circuit, with a best finish of 15th in the Barcelona Open in 2007, Agarwal is one to watch.
Another star performer is Mark “dipthrong” Herm. After winning two Sunday major tournaments on the same day last July, the Bodog $100,000 Guaranteed and Full Tilt Poker $750,000 Guaranteed, Herm finished second in RPM’s Sunday Brawl in February.
Another team member is Dan “djk123” Kelly. As one of the highest ranked players in the field, he won $104,000 in a $216 buy-in No Limit Hold’em Turbo event during the FTOPS in January and just a month later he took $116,000 and third place in a $300 Rebuy Six-Handed No Limit Hold’em FTOPS.
As one of the more senior members of the team, Randy “Randers” Haddox is next on the list and in September won the $320 buy-in Six-Max No Limit Hold’em event held during the PokerStars World Championship with a pot of $73,000.
Next is Steven “Zugwat” Silverman, a regular $200/$400 Heads-Up No Limit Hold’em player who is fresh off a 12th place showing in the EPT Monte Carlo Grand Final for $126,000. The other team members include Andrew “luckychewy” Lichtenberger, Stephen “Stevie444” Chidwick, Dan “KingDan” Smith, Chris “cdbr3799” Dombrowski, Jim “Mr_Bigqueso” Collopy, Terry “Asiandude7” Eischens, Daniel “Luie Sojo” Santoro, Brent “astrolux85” Roberts, Anthony “holdplz” Spinella, Jeff “jpapola” Papola, Russell “rcrane082985” Crane, Shawn “jordankickz” Busse, Brett “threatnasty” Switzer, and Kory “s00tedj0kers” Kilpatrick.
This formidable team will take on fellow teams within the MGN network such Carbon Poker, IronDuke, Poker Nordica, and Rumble Poker. The network is the 17th largest network worldwide in terms of cash game volume and the sixth largest site or network that accepts players from the US.
