Martin Jacobson, the 2014 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event winner is the latest addition to 888Poker\u2019s outstanding roster of ambassadors. The poker pro\u2019s new ambassadorial venture was officially announced during the festive period with the 888Poker management making it clear that the decision was a carefully thought out one as both parties have been collaborating for a while now. Their most recent partnership was during the World Series of Poker tournament in which Jacobson also participated and represented Team Sweden in their 8-Team Promo. However, one of the primary reasons for Jacobson\u2019s decision to join the poker powerhouse is due to his interest in philanthropy which the deal with 888Poker also happens to facilitate. <\/p>\n
The Swedish All-Time Live Tournament Money-Earner (20th All-Time, Global) joined the meta-charity Raising for Effective Giving (REG) as an ambassador in early 2017 \u2013 with 888Poker\u2019s newly found philanthropic ventures Jacobson should find the ambassadorial role to be quite attractive. <\/p>\n
Jacobson is one of the most benevolent celebrities in the world and he takes every available opportunity to improve the lives of people and their environments. After winning the WSOP Main Event, for instance, he donated a whopping $250,000 to animal charities that had been recommended by Animal Charity Evaluators, a meta-charity that incorporates the principles of effective altruism.<\/p>\n
Last November, the 888Poker team added Vivian Saliba to the team and by including Jacobson in its roster will be very helpful to its outreach programs. By 2016, Jacobson was already a regular and familiar face in 888Live Events even though it was not yet official. His entry further came with a new slogan, that is, \u201cTaking back the game\u201d \u2013 this is a personal mission for Jacobos as he intends to return the poker to players with big guarantee amounts on various buy-ins.<\/p>\n
So far, 888Poker has managed to create an impressive ensemble of outstanding ambassadors including Germany\u2019s Dominik Nitsche, Sweden\u2019s Sofia Lovgren, UK\u2019s Chris Moorman, Brazil\u2019s Bruno Politano and Parker Talbot who is Canadian. The ambassadors will further act as team managers for their respective nations. What makes 888Poker\u2019s ambassadors the best in the industry is their neat portfolio and their great reputations. For instance, Dominik Nitsche, who is a four-time WSOP bracelet winner also happens to be one of 2017s biggest winners after earning $4 million by winning the $111,111 One Drop High Roller, Parker Talbot is the most viewed poker star on Twitch and Chris Moorman is the world\u2019s most successful online multi-table tournament player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Martin Jacobson, the 2014 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event winner is the latest addition to 888Poker\u2019s outstanding roster of ambassadors.
