Global Poker is going for gold in the next round of the Global Poker Celebrity Challenge with the most decorated Olympian ever, Michael Phelps. In this penultimate round, there will be even more great prizes and donations to charities, and of course, the chance to play against the swimming legend himself. Running from Oct. 16–29, Phelps will challenge Global Poker players to compete against him in a series of Sweeps Coin Qualifiers. He will also challenge DJ Khaled to a heads-up poker battle. The winner will have the opportunity to donate $10,000 to a charity of their choice, funded by Global Poker. There are a total of eight Michael Phelps Sweeps Coin Qualifiers, running from Oct. 16-23. Players will compete for the opportunity to win a share of the prize pool, exclusive Global Poker swag signed by Michael Phelps, and a spot in the Michael Phelps Celebrity Challenge Final, where they’ll have the chance to play against the legendary athlete. One player from each qualifier will advance to the final, which will run on Oct. 24. These eight finalists will compete against each other and Michael Phelps for a chance to earn a seat in the Global Poker Celebrity Challenge Grand Final, scheduled for November. Don't miss this!
