The World Series of Poker (WSOP) app has selected the social media influencer line-up for its #RoadToTheTable campaign. WSOP will give these 14 content creators an opportunity to compete and earn the title of WSOP Legend.
Participants were selected from a variety of social media platforms, including Instagram, Twitch and YouTube.
YouTuber ZackTTG, along with Malena Tudi and Nick Polom, are among those chosen. The remaining participants are Adam LZ, Billy Mann, Collete Davis, Erik Conover, Jay Mendoza, Jiedel, Kenny Chao, Lauren Fitzmaurice and Stephania Ergemlidze, Matthew Meagher and Nick Antonyan.
WSOP General Manager Guy Ceder said: “We are thrilled to finally announce the identities of the influencers taking part in our #RoadToTheTable campaign. We really want to bring the love for poker and WSOP to a wider audience and show people just how much fun playing poker can be.
“We hope that everyone involved will enjoy playing poker as much as we do, and that the influencers’ journey toward becoming legendary poker players will inspire their audiences to explore the game too, both virtually and with real-life decks and chips.”
The 14 social media influencers will be divided into five teams. They will also be paired with WSOP mentors who will help them develop their poker-playing skills. The teams will compete in December at an undisclosed US location.
Each influencer received a “mystery box” from WSOP that has a built-in video message to welcome them to the tournament. They also received special poker chips and card decks.
ZackTTG addressed his Instagram followers and said the following: “I’ve been playing poker a lot recently, and since I’m new to the game, my homies over at World Series of Poker sent me over this kit to help me become a better player.”
Poker fans will have access to live videos and opportunities to engage the influencers and WSOP legends through the RoadToTheTable hashtag.
WSOP is the world’s longest-running poker tournament. The free-to-play poker game has been going on since 1970.
