A new poker room is set to be unveiled in May.

The Potawatomi Casino Hotel will be unveiling a brand new poker room this May and has partnered with Above the Felt to raise awareness for its grand opening. Matt Berkey, Jamie Kerstetter and Jaman Burton, three experienced figures in the poker industry, will be hosting a special meet-up cash game, offering poker players an exclusive opportunity to engage and play with some of their peers.   

"We are proud to join forces with Potawatomi Casino Hotel to celebrate this occasion," said Tom Wheaton, Founder & CEO at Above the Felt.  

"This partnership underscores our shared commitment to enhancing the poker experience for poker players in the region by bringing together top poker talent to interact with players, fans, and followers alike."  

On Thursday, May 2, attendees of the grand opening can expect poker action, getting the chance to meet other players and putting skills to use as the meet-up game begins at noon that day. Berkey, host of the Only Friends podcast and high-stakes poker player himself, believes this is a chance for poker enthusiasts to come together for healthy competition.   

"I'm honored to be part of the poker room grand opening festivities at Potawatomi Casino Hotel," said Berkey.  

"It's a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow poker enthusiasts at their typical stakes and share in the competition of the game together."  

As a broadcaster and player, herself, Kerstetter sees the event as a chance to build relationships with people alike.   

"Events like these are essential for fostering camaraderie and excitement within the poker community. I can't wait to engage with fans and create memorable experiences together!" said Kerstetter.   

Burton also shared the same level of enthusiasm as his fellow attendees as he plans on using his experience as a YouTube vlogger and award-winning poker content creator to further his love of the industry.   

"I’m excited to be partnering with Potawatomi Casino Hotel, one of the leading casinos and newest poker rooms in the state of Wisconsin. It will be a lot of fun to share my passion for poker and connect with fellow players in such an immersive setting,” said Burton.
