Steve Aoki doesn't have any kind of a poker career record to boast of but he is known to be a mega-fan of the game. He is a friend of 16-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth and last year made an appearance on the reboot of Poker After Dark alongside Dan Bilzerian.
Adam Pliska, World Poker Tour CEO, was beaming over having such a star name associated with the WPT brand as it celebrates its 20th anniversary.
“Steve Aoki brings an unmatched passion and energy to any venue. As we continue to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the World Poker Tour, having Steve augment the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown is all we could ask for.”
