Ivan Demidov Joins PokerRoyalty

Ivan Demidov made poker history in 2008 when he reached the final table of both the WSOP main event in Vegas and the European equivalent, a feat not to be sniggered at and one that will take some equalling, let alone beating. As a result he is starting to reap the rewards, one of which is signing to American based agency PokerRoyalty.

Never was a poker agency so aptly named. Joining the elite of the poker world in the forms of Negreanu, Hellmuth, Hansen and Lindgren on the books of PR will do wonders for the 27 year old from Russia and his blossoming career. As he said in a statement, “While my career takes me all over the world, Russia is always home. Working with Poker Royalty, with their resources around the world, will help me successfully navigate my career and build on exciting opportunities available in Russia and elsewhere.”
Ivan Demidov is the biggest signing to the PokerRoyalty fold since they opened their European office in November 2008 and his desire to play in Europe rather than spending large swaths of time in The United States will endear him to the European tour events and the players who frequent it. A fact that has no doubt not passed the attention of PokerRoyalty. He will only head to the USA for the WSOP and special invite events.

Speaking about their new signing PokerRoyalty added that “Ivan is a player with enormous talent and unlimited potential. Ivan’s success has created much excitement for the game of poker in his home country of Russia, and Poker Royalty is thrilled to be helping him manage his career and the many exciting opportunities that will undoubtedly develop for him around the world.”
