The Texas hold ’em game, which will include some poker professionals, will be open to just 75 people, on a first-come basis, but fans will be able to interact with the star players by commenting on their moves as the action unfolds.
Viewers will be encouraged to donate during the livestream, which will be hosted by poker commentators Justin Kelly and Michael Loncar and kick off at 2 P.M. EST at Twitch TV.
