The four-time Super Bowl winner and NFL icon Rob Gronkowski is getting ready for a different type of rivalry. Gronkowski will play in “The Big Game on Tour” in November as a member of the North American Poker Tour (NAPT). The action takes place at the poker table at Resorts World Casino in Las Vegas, where Gronkowski will test his spirit of competition.
Gronkowski and Wright Ready for the Challenge
The FanDuel ambassador is eager to bring his football-driven energy to poker. “I’m always up for a challenge,” Gronkowski commented, expressing his excitement to compete alongside top poker players. His approach to the game will be as intense and focused as his approach to football.
Joining Gronkowski will be sports media personality Nick Wright, a poker enthusiast with experience in the World Series of Poker. Wright described his participation as a “dream come true,” highlighting his enthusiasm for playing in the Big Game.
Fans can join the excitement through a contest hosted by PokerStars and FanDuel. Two lucky winners will receive North American Poker Tour Gold Passes, including a $5,300 buy-in for the main event, travel expenses, and hotel accommodations.
Additionally, the NAPT will hold auditions for The Big Game, featuring one “Loose Cannon” player who will be sponsored to compete against top poker professionals. With Gronkowski’s debut in the poker scene, the NAPT event in Las Vegas promises to be an exhilarating experience.
