With all of the talk about markup police at this summer's World Series of Poker (WSOP), there is a chance to let the market decide the markup of top poker players.
StakeKings is introducing the StakeKings Live: Main Event Auction that featuring 20 top poker players who fans can buy pieces of in the $10,000 Main Event. Their markup starts at zero, and it goes up depending on the demand of the players.
StakeKings Introduces Main Event Auction
The players taking part in the StakeKings Live: Main Event Auction including poker streamers Patrick Leonard and Aaron Barone, first-ever female Triton champion Xuan Liu, content creator Ethan "Rampage" Yau and 2023 Main Event runner-up Steven Jones.
All of the markup ends up going to a good cause. The money will benefit the beneficiaries of the Peak Humanity Charity Gala, a charity poker event taking place in Las Vegas that will be headlined by top high-stakes pros like Punnat Punsri and Santhosh Suvarna, and hosted by poker commentators Henry Kilbane and Joey Ingram.
That event is taking place on June 29 at Moon & View at the Palms, and will also be attended by the likes of high-stakes pro Matt Berkey and NFL linebacker Morlon Greenwood.
In conjunction with the Peak Humanity Charity Gala event, the auction will close on June 29 at 8 p.m. local time.
It's already been a strong summer for some of those selling action. Yau, for example, is up more than $1.3 million in WSOP high-stakes cash games, including winning a nearly $500,000 pot off of fellow fan favorite Michael "Texas Mike" Moncek.
Liu, meanwhile, finished 26th in the $2,000 No Limit Hold'em event for $9,733 and also cashed in the $1,700 Circuit Championship.
StakeKings is a popular poker staking platform that lets players get in on the action with their favorite players without playing any events themselves. To learn more about StakeKings, visit stakekings.com.
