The 20 time poker-title winner will promote the Web3 platform to new customers.

Poker star Kenna James has partnered with Ape In Poker (AIP), a Web3 poker platform, to promote the company to the global online gaming community. Las Vegas-based card pro Kenna James has 20 poker titles and won over $4m playing tournaments. He is considered one of the top experts in the game.

Working in the capacity of both a personal coach and group seminar speaker, Kenna has helped to elevate the skill levels of thousands of poker players. James now brings his expertise to AIP in the field of player development.

James will be focusing his efforts on player acquisition, retention and education, which AIP believes will be a great asset in its plans moving forward.

Speaking on this new partnership, James commented: “Not only is Ape In Poker the next phase of online gambling, but it's really the next stage of my career. With the momentum of this project combined with the incredible technology behind it, there’s no way I was passing up this opportunity. This is a game changer.”

AIP has housed an online casino and sportsbook for over five years, attempting to bridge the gap between traditional casino play and cryptocurrency. It seeks to merge the poker experience with Web3 technology, with the vision of providing players with interactive and immersive experiences.

Kenna James is a big name in the poker world right now. He placed in the top 100 for four separate events at the Golden Nugget 2022 Grand Poker Series. His largest winnings came in a 2006 No-Limit Hold'em Championship (the 5th Annual Party Poker Million) where he won $700,000 and placed 2nd.
