It has just been announced that Slovakia’s most successful poker pro ever, Dag Palovic, is the latest player to join Team PokerStars Pro.

Dag Palovic only started playing poker in 2007, but over the past short years has managed to amass $774,647 in live tournament earnings and has even written Slovakia’s first poker book entitled “How to become a poker pro.”

Soon after turning his attentions to tournament poker, Dag Palovic placed 7th in the 2007 EPT Prague for $137,151. Palovic earned a further $190,770 in 2008 and $89,628 in 2009.
