Binance CEO, CZ, isn\u2019t a poker fanatic. In fact, he\u2019s barely a novice (or at least, that\u2019s what he seems to want us to think).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n But this hasn\u2019t stopped him from accepting a challenge from Phil Ivey, a man commonly referred to as the \u201cTiger Woods of Poker\u201d.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/cz_binance\/status\/1419544820142415873<\/p>\n If it sounds bizarre to you, that\u2019s because it is. In fact, it gets even weirder. Ethereum Co-Founder Joe Lubin, NBA Hall of Fame player Paul Pierce, YouTube star Mr. Beast, and Hollywood actor Vince Vaughn will also be sitting alongside Ivey and CZ to play what could turn out to be one of the weirdest poker games in history.<\/span><\/p>\n If their Twitter banter is anything to go by, it\u2019s going to be a match to remember:<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s the kicker: there\u2019s also one more spot reserved for the winner of \u201cThe Phil Ivey Golden Ticket NFT”. The NFT is set to be auctioned on the <\/span>Binance NFT Marketplace<\/span> on July 27th 2021, as the world\u2019s biggest crypto trading platform attempts to break into the NFT space. The project is a collaboration with <\/span>Virtue Poker<\/span>, the world\u2019s first fully licensed blockchain based peer-to-peer poker platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When it comes to NFTs, it seems that the more bizarre a project is, the better. Since the NFT boom at the end of last year, companies have been trying hard to come up with their own unique twist to add value to buyers. We\u2019ve seen some pretty crazy things, from a narrated <\/span>video<\/span> of Banksy\u2019s \u2018Spike\u2019 floating in space, to…<\/span>NFT toilet paper<\/span> (yikes), but we\u2019ve never seen anything like this before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
