Entrepreneur and investor Chamath Palihapitiya, known for his appearances in televised poker events, has publicly expressed his interest in creating a new high-stakes poker series in the United States.
His idea comes at a time when high-stakes poker is growing in popularity, with circuits like the Triton Poker Series and Super High Roller Bowl dominating the scene. However, Palihapitiya believes there is room for a new format that appeals to both professionals and wealthy recreational players.
💬 “Poker needs a new high roller circuit that provides more value and a premium experience,” Palihapitiya stated in an interview.
While professionals like Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu have shown interest, others question whether this project can compete with the current elite circuits.
Entrepreneur Paul Phua, founder of Triton Poker, might have a new competitor in the high-stakes tournament scene.
