Jason Koon, Shaun Deeb, and Matt Berkey Announce Major PokerEvent Launch

PokerStars Big Game on Tour, the most exciting televised cash game in poker, will return on May 17 with an all-new season featuring a top-tier lineup led by PokerStars Ambassador Jason Koon—currently ranked third on the all-time money list—and reigning two-time World Series of Poker Player of the Year Shaun Deeb. Also joining are American high-stakes pro and coach Matt Berkey.

(AsiaGameHub) –   The roster is rounded out by MMA fighter and poker enthusiast Sean O’Malley, as well as renowned high-stakes cash game player and businessman Randy ‘3Coin’ Sadler, who will challenge the ‘Loose Cannon’ for substantial winnings.

As usual, each episode will highlight intense No Limit Hold’em cash games in the popular Big Game format, where one amateur player—the ‘Loose Cannon’—is backed with $50,000 and keeps any profits earned at the table.

Canadian Operations Manager Andy Taylor will step into the role of the ‘Loose Cannon,’ aiming to defeat the professionals. In addition to managing his property maintenance company, Andy co-runs a non-profit organization with his wife that helps young athletes across Toronto develop their skills and mental mindset.

The promotional teaser for the new Big Game episodes aired during the live broadcast of the €100,000 High Rollers Invitational at the PokerStars EPT Monte Carlo, featuring Jason Koon, a regular Big Game participant. Koon won €1,000,000 by defeating some of the world’s best players in the tournament.

The first episode of Season 3 will be available on the PokerStars YouTube channel on May 17, with new installments airing weekly through June 14.
