This partnership marks a creative convergence of the worlds of poker and contemporary art.

As part of the collaboration, Arsham will design unique trophies for the WPT champions of 2023. Adam Pliska, WPT CEO, expressed his excitement about the partnership, saying: "In the history of WPT, this may well be the most creative partnership we have ever taken on.
