Virtue Poker Celebrity Tournament Table 1: The Winning Hands and Recap

First off, we wanted to thank our players, our NFT purchasers and our community for supporting the first part of our event.

We apologize for the production failure as a summary:

✔️ There were 0 issues on Sunday with the Virtue Poker Software

✔️ There were multiple tests (5) done before the event with our production partner. Obviously with no issues

❌ There was a bug in the production company’s software that didn’t allow 4 of the 6 players to share their screen (which is needed for the stream for us to display private cards)

❌ There also happened to be an Internet outage at Phil Ivey’s House as the event began where Ivey, Mr. Beast, and (myself) were located

Going forward:

✔️ We will ensure our next batch of players have no technical issues with the production software (or internet issues) before starting the table.

✔️And we will be adding additional partners to support events we host going forward.

Winning Hands

Despite the difficulty with the event production, we did see a potentially new poker pro emerge through one of the most dominating performances we’ve seen on a poker table.

Joe Lubin - a poker newbie - was able to knock out 4 of the 5 other players in the event in dramatic fashion!
