The portuguese prodigy, Jose 'Girah' Macedo has been very popular with the poker community lately, as we already reported [4], his unbelievable dedication and concentration on the game got him from the micros to the high stakes in just 1,5 years. He is only 18 years old, but as it turned out recently, he has joined the Lock Pro ELITE team.

In the press release, Macedo said he wanted to be the best player ever, following his icon, Tom 'durrrr' Dwan:

"I am determined to be the best player in the world, so I wanted to make sure I partnered with the best poker brand. Lock’s focus on the player experience is unique and inspiring and something I truly wanted to associate myself with. I encourage anyone to come and challenge me on Lock, and look forward to the exciting times ahead."

Lock Poker's owner and CEO, Jennifer Larson said: "Jose is young, brilliant, and incredibly determined. He is putting a new face, age, and goal to this game. (...) He will be heavily involved in developing the product, marketing and brand in the coming months. His story is one of determination to a degree that is just unparalleled and unrivaled.

I'm very excited how this partnership will work out for them, and I wish the best of luck to Jose, it's always great to see some new talent emerge.
