Starting July 20, and running through August 3, PokerStars is running a "Search for Protégés Contest" in concert with the up-coming 2014 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP). Four lucky winners will receive training from select Team PokerStars Pros: Andre Akkari, Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier, Eugene Katchalov and Vanessa Selbst!


Wcoop protege


In addition to training with some of the top names in poker, winners will also receive entry into three WCOOP events (including the $5200 Main Event), along with a chance to compete for the Grand Prize of a 2015 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure package.

Qualifiers:

There will be four daily protégé qualifying tournaments from now until August 3:

  • 13.00 ET – Eugene Protégé Qualifier
  • 14.00 ET – ElkY Protégé Qualifier
  • 17.00 ET – Vanessa Protégé Qualifier
  • 18.00 ET – Andre Protégé Qualifier

In addition to the normal prize-pool of these tournaments, the top two finishers of each will be invited to make a short video directed to the Team Pro mentor, stating why they should be given a chance to be a protégé. Each pro will pick their two favorites, and those videos will be uploaded to YouTube and Facebook, where the four protégés will be decided by public vote.

The protégé that wins the most money in the three WCOOP events in their package wins the Grand Prize 2015 PCA package!

Saw this on twitter yesterday from stars and thought it was pretty neat. It's awesome that they have all these great promotions going on to give an everyday pokerjoe the opportunity to work with a pro and that dream of being a poker something will always be alive.

Just voted for you Robert and shared it on facebook. Hopefully more people here at Cardschat will hop on the train and vote for you.
By the way, if you were on American Idol you would not be getting my vote. :)

I voted for Robert too! The other guy had a more "production" like feel to his video, but Robert's was way more entertaining! Loved the Vanessa background singers/head boppers. :D

Ok....as your first post is not PASS FOR FREEROLL PLEASE, reason enough to vote for you.....

Seriously...I watched the videos and basically decided not to vote because I couldn't choose.
But your request here got me, so my vote is yours.

I'd really appreciate though, if you get through this and become her protege, you come back here to tell us some more about the experience.

Good luck anyways, and in case....hope you enjoy the experience....
