Twitch viewers are showing up en masse to watch some of the biggest names on Twitch battle it out at the card tables. The second event drew double the viewership of the first, and the next events look to keep that trend going with added love from the Smash Bros. community.
The event is scheduled for November 21, 2019 and will air at 5 PM ET on Twitch. Viewers will have a chance to tune in and learn more about both video games culture as well as get some insights in poker.
Meanwhile, players will be able to join a $10,000 tournament , preceding the celebrity event featuring $75,000 in prize money and held in December. Americas Cardroom has also secured high-profile personalities to come join the Venom tournament series, offering some $6 million in prize money.
