The campaign, which will offer prizes and donations to charities, gives poker players a chance to take on four celebrities: NBA superstars Paul George and Karl-Anthony Towns, Olympic icon Michael Phelps and legendary producer DJ Khaled.

There will be four celebrity heads-up campaigns where each celebrity plays against the other, as well as four Celebrity Campaign Finals where Global Poker players can compete against the stars.

Before each celebrity showdown, Global Poker will launch a series of Sweeps Coin qualifying events for Global Poker Players to take part in.

Playing For a Good Cause

There will be eight qualifiers for each Celebrity Campaign and players who make it through the Sweeps Coin Qualifiers will compete for the chance to win some of the prize pool and exclusive Global Poker swag signed by the celebrities.

Each celebrity will host a Celebrity Final Campaign and one player from each Qualifer will go through to the Final. The eight finalists will battle it out against each other and one of the celebrities for a chance to win a spot in the Global Poker Celebrity Campaign Grand Final on Nov. 12, where they will compete to win a Ferrari Race Day experience of their choice in North America.

The four celebrities will then battle each other in the Celebrity Campaign Grand Final on Nov. 13. The top three winners will donate $90,000 between them to charities of their choice.

George, who plays for the Los Angeles Clippers, said he planned to support the American Heart Association, which “holds a special place in my heart” after his mother had a stroke when he was a child.

“So this will allow me to help other stroke victims,” George said in a Global Poker press release.
