Andy Milonakis has taken his seat here in the $235 Progressive Bounty event here at Run It Up Reno IX, and the multi-faceted actor, rapper and comedian has a seat in between CSOP founder Matt Stout and Ricky "ratedGTO" Guan to begin the day.
While most people know Milonakis from The Andy Milonakis Show from MTV and his role as Roman Armond on Kroll Show, Milonakis has been streaming poker on Twitch, and even took the time to participate in Live at the Bike!, where he delighted fans with both his play and his time in the commentary booth.
We'll be keeping an eye on Milonakis, who will be in attendance through the remainder of Run It Up Reno IX, as he looks to add "Run It Up Reno champ" to his already illustrious list of talents.
