Poker Vlogger Andrew Neeme in the Mix
Popular poker vlogger Andrew Neeme made his way down to the Wynn today to participate in the $1,600 PLO/NLH event.
In October 2016, Neeme got to work by releasing his first poker vlog. Just over five years later, the vlogger pioneer has emerged as one of the most influential players in the industry, which was evidenced by recent news that he invested in a Texas cardroom alongside Doug Polk and Brad Owen.
“Brad and I were on the meet-up game trail for a bunch of years,” Neeme told PokerNews on a recent episode of the PokerNews Podcast. “Sort of came up with this concept that I guess a lot of people in poker are familiar with now, but just getting a bunch of people together in their local town, in their local cardroom, for just a fun social night of poker and maybe they can help contribute to help make a poker vlog they’ve come to enjoy over the years as well.”
Later this month from March 20-27, Neeme will join Darren Elias and Matt Berkey as emcees to BetMGM's March Poker Mania, an online series with tournaments in New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania that will offer a total of $1.3 million in guarantees among the three states.
Michigan's Neeme will host the MetMGM Poker Cash Game Meetup at MGM Grand Detroit on March 23 and a college basketball hangout at the BetMGM Sports Lounge on March 24 before streaming several events on his YouTube channel throughout the week. Learn more about that series by clicking here.
