"Prominent Gamble": Negreanu and Colleagues Shine in Betting Program on Poker Central
Tomorrow, Poker Central's digital channel will introduce a new show called "Major Wager." This show revolves around "prop bets," a popular tradition in the poker community. In it, well-known poker professionals compete in ridiculous wagers. The channel's concept is not only geared towards tournaments but also the eccentric lifestyles of these players.
The first season comprises five episodes and will feature several prominent poker players. DaniNegreanu, Samantha Abernathy, Brian Rast, Jeff Gross, and Antonio Esfandiari are set to appear. Hosted by poker vlogger Joey Ingram, the show delves into the long-standing tradition of prop bets in the scene. These secondary bets often arise during less engaging rounds or between tournaments, frequently testing the courage, discipline, or honor of dedicated gamblers.
Erick Lindgren once wagered with Daniel Negreanu that the latter would eventually weigh over 75 kg, leading "Kid Poker" to adopt a vegan diet and still hasn't had to fulfill his side of the bet. Antonio Esfandiari, known for his love of betting, attempted a year without bread but failed after just a couple of minutes. He maintained celibacy for nine days before giving up. Notably, Esfandiari's craziest undertaking mandated he couldn't walk for 48 hours. Instead, he crawled during a PokerStars tournament and got disqualified.
With such dedicated players involved, there's minimal risk of the show being a failure. It's also undeniable that viewers are intrigued by poker's extraordinary personalities, not necessarily the perfect professionals who are sometimes criticized as detached, calculating analysts. Who draws more attention - the flawless professionals or the unpredictable personalities like Phil Hellmuth?
The show's success could indicate if poker fans are also intrigued by their idols beyond the typical playing field. The first season of "Major Wager" will be available on PokerGO, a digital subscription service from Poker Central, which also streams other popular shows like "Poker After Dark" and WPT tournaments.
The success of this show will demonstrate poker fans' curiosity about their celebrities beyond the regular playing surface. The first season of "Major Wager" will air on PokerGO, a digital subscription service from Poker Central, which also hosts shows like "Poker After Dark" and WPT tournaments.
