Fourteen players, some of whom are in attendance at the WPT Choctaw Main Event, will have the backing this summer at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) from Houston sports betting legend Jim McIngvale (aka "Mattress Mack"), and they look to reinvent the image of poker stables following the Bryn Kenney alleged cheating scandal.
Mattress Mack, who generated his wealth as the owner of the Gallery Furniture mattress chain (hence the nickname), is known to place seven-figure wagers on sporting events such as the Super Bowl and NCAA Tournament.
