Johnny Lodden Joins Team PokerStars

Norwegian online sensation Johnny Lodden is the latest addition to PokerStar's roster of world-class players.

PokerStars announced the new signing at the ongoing European Poker Tour event in Budapest, where Lodden is in seventh place after day 1.

The 23-year-old made a new for himself at the high-stakes online tables a few years ago. Lodden played under the infamous nick "bad_ip" and crushed the games with aggressive and fearless play.

Lodden hasn't been as successful live so far, but he has cashed several times in big tournaments and earned over $450,000.

Now he joins Daniel Negreanu, Greg Raymer and the other stars in the prestigious Team Poker Stars Pro. This is the full team:
