You won't find Maria Ho seated at a poker table in Las Vegas this weekend.
Instead, the poker star will be immersed in the world of esports, surrounded by some of the top competitors in gaming. Ho is in Newark, New Jersey hosting the Mobile Masters Invitational (M2), a new esports tournament series created by Amazon.
The inaugural Mobile Masters Invitational features popular games on the Amazon Appstore like Hearthstone, Vainglory, and Summoner’s War, with $65,000 in prizes to its winners. Ho is serving as the on-screen host of the event, something she has become familiar with in her roles with Poker Central and Poker Night in America.
