Phenom Poker has accumulated an impressive roster of poker pro ambassadors, including one regular PFA listener.

Joseph Cheong
Ari Engel (who listens to PFA Radio every week)
Brian Rast
Sergio Aido
Eric Baldwin
Chris Hunichen
Justin Young
Angela Jordison

Ari Engel is especially notable to me, as he is very honest and really hasn't been part of the whole poker endorsement game until now.

Joseph Cheong and Angela Jordison also have good reputations.

I don't know Sergio Aido.

Two of them have somewhat of a history of associating themselves with questionable poker companies. Eric Baldwin most notably signed with UB after the superuser cheating scandal. Brian Rast has been associated with various poker failprojects over the years, where presumably he traded his association for equity in these companies.

Don't know that much about Justin Young, other than him being around in poker for a number of years.

Chris Hunichen had a good reputation, but ran into a fair amount of Twitter controversy this summer, involving a Gofundme for his father's funeral. This controversy wasn't a huge deal other than bad optics, but it did sour some people's opinions of him.

Anyway, I'm not sure what compensation these eight people received. I'm guessing it was the "tokens" discussed in the post above, which could translate into decent money if the site takes off.

I'll give you my opinion of Phenom Poker in the next post...
