The likelihood of a poker player being into video games is roughly on par with their owning a form of cryptocurrency. In a word, high.
So it only makes sense that the World Series of Poker has partnered up with premier esports company UMG Media Corp. to deliver players a first of its kind competitive video gaming experience.
Throughout this summer’s poker festivities, WSOP players and spectators alike will be able to compete across a variety of popular gaming titles from the newly-minted UMG Esports Stage, located front and center on the stage of the Pavilion Room at the Rio Casino.
