Head of poker at BetVictor, Andy Horne, said, “Like poker, qualifying for and competing at the Olympics takes a lot of commitment, skill and a little bit of luck. The Poker Olympics rewards our own poker athletes with lots of opportunities to finish number one on the podium and take down gold for being the best. Good luck to all Olympians, whether on the track, field, or felt this summer!”
