Patrik Antonius
Patrik Antonius is one of the greatest poker players to have ever picked up playing cards. Hailing from Helsinki, Finland, Antonius is both feared and respected in equal measure, mostly because of his fearless approach to the game.
Antonius is approaching 30 cashes in live WSOP events, including a trio of final table appearances. The super-talented Finn is yet to win a gold WSOP bracelet in Las Vegas, but will be looking to win more than his fair share of virtual bracelets on the WSOP App.
Espen Jorstad
Espen Jorstad had a glowing reputation before his incredible performances at the 2022 WSOP in Las Vegas. The Norwegian grinder won his first WSOP bracelet in the Tag Team event before going on to become the 2022 WSOP Main Event champion.
Jorstad is the reigning poker world champion, and will take some beating if you find him on your WSOP App tables.
Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst needs no introduction. The New Yorker is not only one of the best female poker players ever, but one of the greatest, period. The three-time WSOP bracelet winner is the first and only female player to be ranked number one in the world by the Global Poker Index.
Selbst retired as a professional poker player in 2018 to pursue a corporate job and start a family. However, in a recent interview with PokerNews, Selbst revealed that the excellent free-to-play WSOP App has reignited her love for playing poker, and she will be gracing us with her presence at the 2023 WSOP in Las vegas.
"Honestly, I was just looking for an excuse to get back (to poker). I've been looking for an excuse to get back for a while. I've missed it," Selbst exclusively told PokerNews.
Samantha Abernathy

Landon Tice
Landon Tice called Boca Raton, Florida, home, although he is often spotted playing in cardrooms up and down the country. Tice has more than 30 cashes on the WSOP live circuit, including a coveted gold WSOP Circuit ring, which he won in March 2023.
Tice is hungry for more poker jewelry, especially the virtual rings and bracelets you can win for free on the WSOP App.
Ethan Yau
Ethan Yau is better-known to some as his "Rampage" nickname. Quincy, Massachusetts, is where Yau mostly plays poker for free on the WSOP App when he is not getting his grind on in live poker events.
Yau is a hugely popular player, one that won the Best Vlogger and Best Poker Personality at the 2022 Global Poker Awards. he is also supremely talented, having won a WSOP bracelet and four WSOP Circuit rings!
