Reality T.V. Stars Battle as Team PokerStars Pros
While many here know Team Pokerstars Pros Kevin Martin and Fatima Moreira de Melo for their poker prowess, they are also known for both having competed and won reality television show competitions.
Last year, Martin took down Big Brother Canada - Season 5, taking home the $100,000 first place prize. Moreira de Melo won Expeditie Robinson, the Dutch version of Survivor, in 2012. Christophe De Meulder, another poker player, also competed in that season along with Moreira de Melo, finishing as the runner-up.
Today the two are seated at the same table and must battle it out in a different type of competition. They will have to put to work not only the skills they used to win on reality television but their poker skills as well.
At the table, the two bantered over different strategies that they used to win, Martin discussing how he used romance as a tactic to earn his victory in Big Brother. Moreira de Melo mentioned that she was never at risk of being voted off her island, and when she was, she had earned her self-immunity.
