Challenge KAT on the felt
Although Towns already had experience playing with his NBA counterpart, he was particularly excited to face the 28-time Olympic gold medalist.
“In addition to the opportunity to spend time with good friends, poker is a competitive game that gives you an adrenaline rush, similar to basketball,” Towns said in a press release. “In poker you have to make quick decisions and always be aware of everything that is happening at the table.”
Towns added, “Global Poker allows me to play poker in my free time, (especially) when I’m on the go.”
There will be a total of eight Karl-Anthony Towns Sweeps Coin Qualifiers where players can compete for exclusive Global Poker swag signed by Towns as well as a spot in the Karl-Anthony Towns Celebrity Challenge finals on October 11th.
These players compete against each other and Towns for a chance to play against Towns, George, Phelps and others DJ Khaled in the grand finale of the Global Poker Celebrity Challenge in November.
