In a bold move to expand its ambassador lineup, PokerStars has announced two fresh faces joining its Team Pro roster: high-stakes poker phenomenon Jason Koon and the 2023 GPI Content Creator of the Year, Caitlin Comeskey.
This pairing brings both grit and wit to the brand, as Koon and Comeskey represent a blend of elite poker prowess and creative energy that reflects PokerStars’ renewed commitment to fostering ambition, aspiration, and genuine love for the game.
Jason Koon: High-Stakes Legend
It’s no secret that Jason Koon’s name resonates strongly in poker circles, and for good reason. Currently ranked fourth on the all-time money list, Koon has amassed an impressive $58 million in live tournament winnings, with 14 seven-figure cashes and a string of 93 six-figure scores that showcase his unmatched skill and longevity at the tables. In addition to his live achievements, Koon has been a force in online poker, with victories in events like the SCOOP, Super Tuesday, and Sunday 500 on PokerStars.
Koon’s journey with PokerStars is something of a homecoming. “I started my poker journey playing at PokerStars, and it’s always had a special place in my heart,” he shared, expressing excitement about bringing the PokerStars experience to players in the U.S. and around the world.
Caitlin Comeskey: Award-Winning Content Creator
On the other end of the spectrum, Caitlin Comeskey brings a fresh, lighthearted edge to Team Pro. Known for her humorous poker parodies and insightful commentary, Comeskey has quickly made her mark as a top creator in the poker scene. Her award-winning short-form content, which earned her the title of Best Short-Form Content Creator at the 2023 Global Poker Awards, speaks to her knack for engaging with the poker community in a way that’s both relatable and entertaining.
Comeskey also co-hosts the AceHoles podcast, alongside Nikki Limo, where she taps into her offbeat style to bring poker-related humor and insight to fans. “I strongly believe that fun is the beating heart of our poker economy,” Comeskey remarked, noting how PokerStars’ commitment to quality poker entertainment aligns with her vision.
PokerStars’ Vision
By bringing in ambassadors like Koon and Comeskey, PokerStars is clearly aiming to create more than just a poker platform — it’s doubling down on a vision that integrates competitive excellence with authentic, player-focused entertainment.
Steve Preiss, PokerStars Director of North America, emphasized this, stating, “Jason and Caitlin bring relevance, authenticity, expertise, and humor. Their addition reinforces our commitment to bringing poker back to the big stage.” With Koon’s high-stakes credibility and Comeskey’s engaging content, PokerStars is setting the stage for a dynamic era of poker that appeals to players from all corners of the game.
