Mansion Poker World Pro-Am Challenge

Professional poker player Gavin Smith came out victorious in the inaugural Mansion Poker World Pro-Am Challenge. This was a unique event as their was a tremendous mix of talented professional poker players and online amateur poker players. Each amateur poker player was paired up with a professional poker player in their corner for help and tips. The format of the event was speed poker and all the poker players involved in this tournament thoroughly enjoyed the experience of playing in this televised event. The three professional coaches for the amateurs were Mike Gracz, Tony G, and Kenna James.

The Heads up battle to see who would win this event came down to Gavin Smith and an online poker qualifier from the UK, Scott Gardner. Scott Gardner had Mike Gracz in his corner and the two worked together for three days right before the start of the actual event. This obviously was a solid team effort as Scott Gardner was able to beat some well established poker professionals in his first live event experience.

This event was definitely a success and Mansion Poker continues to provide a tremendous influx of new events and ways to promote their brand. Mansion Poker will continue to adapt new strategies to continue their recent poker dominance.
