As the newest PokerStars ambassadors in the US — joining poker author Maria Konnikova, who resigned as a PokerStars US ambassador last month — Next Gen Poker will create vlogs and social media content at PokerStars live events, including the upcoming NAPT festival at Resorts World in Las Vegas.

"They've tapped into what we love about poker and deliver incredible content to an ever-increasing audience. We look forward to letting them do their thing at PokerStars events in North America and around the world.”
Industry professional Tom Wheaton, who manages Next Gen Poker, said the partnership "is set to usher in a new era of poker entertainment, embracing innovation, accessibility, and content engagement."
“Together, they will amplify the excitement surrounding poker across markets, and reach a variety of audiences in our poker space in unparalleled ways," said Wheaton.
