The online pro from Sydney has several big scores on his resume including a runner-up finish in the 2010 SCOOP and a number of live PLO cashes across Australia.
Bhasin was picked from a list of 10 candidates to represent the Oceania region and “shined through to win himself the position," a Team PokerStars Online manager said.
"I feel incredibly humbled and honored to have been chosen to be a part of Team PokerStars Online," Bhasin said.
"It has been a dream of mine for a while now, and to actually see it come true is an incredible feeling."
“GodlikeRoy,” a nickname from his gaming days, is well known across the Australian online community thanks to his Supernova Elite status and a well-trafficked blog where he covers his primary interests of poker, food, wine and traveling.
As a Pot-Limit Omaha specialist, Bhasin also hopes to grow his favorite game in his new role with Team PokerStars Online.
“Currently the main game of poker is No Limit Hold’Em with PLO being a distant second.
“It is like this in most places in the world but I would like to close the gap between the two and bring more popularity to the wonderful game of PLO.
“I truly believe that the game is more fun, complex, interesting and challenging and that all poker players should learn to play it.”
