Six-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner T.J. Cloutier is the most famous face behind the new ‘Poker Pros Network’ which launched on Cake Poker at the weekend.

Poker Pros Network CEO Chuck Kidd spoke about the launch of the site in a press release circulated earlier this week.

“We are proud to team with Cake Poker Network, a proven world class organization, to bring this unique PPN experience to the poker world.

We have currently signed top online pro players, as well as brick and mortar pros, to play at PPN.”

71 year-old Cloutier has won over $9 million during his live tournament career, recording 39 victories and 266 money finishes.

Cloutier lines up alongside the likes of Chris Reslock, Marsha Waggoner, Barbara Enright, Young Phan, Jonathon ‘driverseati’ Tamayo, Jennifer Elise Cox and Charlie Marchese.

The US friendly site is planning to offer a weekly bounty event with a 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event prize package on offer for the winner.

The PPN lobby will allow players to face off against the professionals who will be highlighted when they are online.

“The allure of playing against the world’s best online poker players has already been proven. At PPN, we make it easy to interact with the PPN pro players of your choice on your schedule and within your budget.”
