This definitely wasn’t the first time that online casino poker player Matt Vengrin had received some positive recognition for his finesse and skill level as a player. But this time the recognition, coming by way of having been signed onto the team of professional sponsored players with none other than Absolute Poker, the future is looking pretty darn bright for Vengrin.

He has had many past successes at a variety of online casinos. Over the course of his career as an amateur player, he has scored no less than $717,000 while playing poker at online casino sites such as Full Tilt Poker, Ultimate Bet and PokerStars.

His track record as a formidable poker opponent, particularly when it comes to his use of superior strategy during games like Texas Hold’em has given him a stellar reputation among fans and operators of online casinos. And he doesn’t take this recognition or his new post as a sponsored player for granted. He says that he is honored to be given this chance to take his casino gaming skill set to the next level.

This is an opportunity that any online casino player would absolutely relish and he is enjoying every minute of it so far. Originally from New York, Vengrin has been able to get mo fewer than five top-ten finishes under his belt while playing his heart out at some of the biggest and most competitive online poker tournaments in the casino gaming business. Just recently, he managed to score ninth place at UltimateBet.com’s Online Championship. For this pot-limit event, he walked away with a respectable $1,800.

Even if you never manage to make it all the way into the heart of the world of online casinos by becoming a professional poker player who is associated with one of the top casino and poker gaming sites out there, you should still be able to rejoice when it happens for other people.

This is all about being gracious. The latest casino poker player who has been lucky enough to score a highly coveted position on the Team PKR Pro is the newest member, Karl Fenton. Fenton has been around the online casino poker scene for quite some time. Originally from Caistor, England, Fenton was able to sign on officially just earlier this week.

There are many players at online casinos and poker rooms who have dreams and hopes and fantasies of one day being able to join such an elite team of players. Fenton has been dividing his time between studying finance to complete his degree and waging countless battles against some very challenging poker playing foes. He has been able to demonstrate that he can definitely hold his own among the more skilled players in the casino gaming industry so the people behind the scenes at PKR were eager to nab him up before some other competing site got a-hold of him first.

He first hit the headlines when he managed to come out as the big winner at the PKR Sunday Classic back in November of last year and he has been on quite a roll ever since. With that first big win, he decided to set his studies aside and devote himself fully to the pursuit of excellence in casino and poker gambling. That was quite a bold decision but so far it has paid off.
