For over a decade, the official WSOP app has been sharing the
exhilaration of live poker with its millions of users. To celebrate
this milestone, the free-to-play game has brought together some of
the biggest names in poker to form the WSOP Thrill Team.
The WSOP Thrill Team members include:
- Patrik Antonius of Helsinki: Three-time WSOP final table
player
- Espan Jorstad of Levanger, Norway: 2022 WSOP
champion
- Vanessa Selbst of New York: The first and only woman to
ever reach the number one ranking on the Global Poker Index
- Samantha Abernathy of Atlanta: Cashed three times at the
2021 WSOP event
- Adam Hendrix of Alaska: Alaska's all-time leading money
winner
- Landon Tice of Boca Raton, Florida: Has a total of 20
WSOP cashes
- Ethan Yau of Quincy, Massachusetts: Winner of a WSOP
bracelet and five WSOP rings.
The Thrill Team roster is taking on Vegas this summer, as they
take part in the in person tournament. While the team is battling
it out on the tables, players at home can experience the same
levels of excitement by testing their skills on the free-to-play
app.
Thrill Team member Patrik Antonius said:
“I can’t wait to return to the World Series of Poker tournament,
especially as this year I’ll be representing the WSOP Thrill Team.
WSOP is brilliant at introducing new players to the game, so I’m
honored to help further that mission and share the thrill of the
in-person tournament with the millions of users at home.”
Since Playtika launched the WSOP free-to-play app in 2013, it
has been downloaded millions of times, and has helped introduce
poker to many beginners; Thrill Team members Samantha Abernathy and
Ethan Yau both started playing the game using the WSOP app.
Guy Ceder, General Manager of the WSOP free-to-play-app,
said:
"We are proud to see our Thrill Team members returning to the
World Series of Poker tournament this year. We are committed to
promoting the game of poker to players around the world, and hope
the presence of the Thrill Team inspires others to begin their
poker journeys on the WSOP app.”
It has also popularized poker with a broader audience: nearly 20
percent of WSOP online players are female – a surprising stat
considering that just 5 percent of poker professionals are
women.
Thrill Team member Vanessa Selbst said:
“It’s been an honor to be a member of the WSOP Thrill Team. The
all-star selection of members reflects the diversity you see at
poker tables, both in-person and online. I look forward to
witnessing the continued growth of the game, and hope more players
are inspired to try the WSOP app!”
Ty Stewart, Executive Director of the World Series of Poker
said:
“Playtika always goes big, but that’s what you expect from one
of the leading social gaming companies in the world. We’re proud
that the WSOP continues to perform as the No. 1 mobile game in the
world and The Thrill Team promotion is another great avenue to
connect with poker fans as the game continues to grow around the
world.”
