'Senor Tilt' Offers to Stake Kylie Jenner $500k to Play on a Poker Livestream
Can Sam "Senor Tilt" Kiki be the one who brings celebrity Kylie Jenner into the poker limelight?
The nosebleed stakes poker player and founder of Monkey Tilt made a bold offer to the wealthy businesswoman and model, one that she might not be able to refuse. Kiki, in a tweet, said he'll stake Jenner $500,000 if she'll join him during the upcoming game on PokerGO, perhaps the High Stakes Poker livestream, which airs March 31 to April 3.
Kiki has been a regular on High Stakes Poker in recent seasons. During the upcoming Season 16, he set a show record for most money won, PokerGO CEO Brent Hanks told Sports Illustrated. He might use some of those winnings to bring an a-list celebrity with 390 million Instagram followers to the mainstream poker world.
High Stakes Poker Player Makes a Bold Offer
Jenner, arguably the most famous member of the Kardashian-Jenner celebrity family, released a "hot girl poker" masterclass video with Vanity Fair earlier this month. She taught beginner players the basics of poker in the brief video, and it created some buzz around the poker world. The PokerNews Podcast discussed how Jenner could help grow the game.
But the question remains if she'll be present on cash game shows such as Hustler Casino Live and High Stakes Poker, or even appear in some World Series of Poker (WSOP) events. Senor Tilt just might make it happen.
"I have a $500,000 seat with your name on it," Kiki tweeted at Jenner.
Kiki also enouraged Jenner's boyfriend, actor Timothée Chalamet, an avid poker player, to join the game. Senor Tilt, a polarizing figure on Hustler Casino Live, tweeted a brief update on his quest to bring Jenner to High Stakes Poker, informing his followers that "One of the top Hollywood agents" has connected with him and asked for a proposal.
That doesn't guarantee she'll show up to the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas later this week to play some poker on a livestream. But it's certainly a start. If she does take him up on that offer, will Senor Tilt angle shoot her? (Just kidding, Sam).
The High Stakes Poker livestream will air daily for four days starting March 31. Kiki, Andrew Robl, and Alan Keating are among those confirmed to compete. Perhaps, Jenner will also join the action.
