If you’re a poker fan, you won’t want to miss the cash game that Nick Schulman just casually announced on Twitter this morning. Mark your calendars for April 27th because PokerGO is bringing the heat with a live-streamed production, and better yet, you can watch it for free on both PokerGO and YouTube. This one is going to be wild, and it features a lineup of players who’ve got some serious history, bringing drama, intensity, and big personalities to the table.
Let’s break down the players who’ll be around the felt:
1. Eric Persson
First up is the ever-entertaining Eric Persson. Known for his larger-than-life personality, Persson has been a regular on some of the biggest televised cash games, always delivering memorable moments, huge swings, and relentless table talk. As Schulman says, “Gotta have him nowadays.” Expect fireworks.
2. Jennifer Tilly
Next, we’ve got Jennifer Tilly, the Hollywood icon and poker enthusiast. Known for her love of the game, Tilly isn’t afraid to mix it up with the pros. Whether in or out of a hand, she’s never shy about speaking her mind. The actress, famous for her role in the “Chucky” franchise, will certainly add her flair to the table.
3. Rob Yong
Rob Yong is a poker pro and casino owner who’s no stranger to the biggest televised games. He recently appeared alongside Persson on PokerGO’s “Million-Dollar Cash Game.” Yong is always willing to go toe-to-toe with the best, making him a perfect fit for this lineup.
4. Bill Klein
Known as a billionaire poker player, Bill Klein may not be a professional by trade, but his poker prowess speaks for itself. He’s been a force in both tournaments and cash games, never shying away from putting his chips in. What makes him stand out is his philanthropic efforts—Klein donates all his winnings or matches his losses to charity. He’s a fan favorite, and we’re all hoping he has another winning day.
5/6/7. Matt Berkey, Nik Airball, Doug Polk
And here’s where things get spicy: Matt Berkey, Nik Airball, and Doug Polk. These three have been at the center of a lot of drama recently, from Airball’s accusations of scamming to their intense heads-up battles. Add Polk’s longstanding beef with Berkey, and you’ve got a recipe for fireworks. It’s going to be fascinating to watch them battle it out in a full-ring game, with the tension palpable.
Schulman himself teased the drama: “Airball…most likely to start a fight. And we got Doug Polk coming down, beefing with Berkey. Maybe everybody gets along, I’m not trying to put fuel on the fire. Berkey, Polk, and Airball. Persson. Tilly, Klein, and Yong in the lion’s den…let’s go.”
Whether you’re a fan of the high-stakes drama or the intense poker action, this stream promises to be a can’t-miss event. The game kicks off on Thursday, April 27th, and with this star-studded lineup, it’s bound to turn heads. Get ready for an unforgettable poker experience.
