Well-known Italian pro and four-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Max Pescatori has signed on with King's Resort to serve as its official poker ambassador. King's Resort announced the Pescatori signing via social media on Wednesday.
It's the first such deal offered by Rozvadov, Czech Republic-based King's. The casino, located in the western part of the country, close to its border with Germany, has developed into a near-permanent home for WSOP Europe since it landed the series in 2017. In signing Pescatori, King's Resort owner Leon Tsoukernik opted to go with the higher-profile Italian star, a WSOP Europe regular, rather than choose a more locally-known Czech pro.
"With his great poker skills, fame, and intimate knowledge of the game and the industry," wrote King's Resort. "Max is the perfect ambassador for King's, Europe's leading poker room. He will be at King's in autumn during the WSOP Europe to compete to add another gold bracelet to his accomplishments."
Pescatori boasts lengthy list of poker accomplishments
"The Italian Pirate", as Pescatori is known, has amassed numerous awards and accomplishments during his quarter century in the game. He's perhaps best known for his four bracelet wins at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.
