Great coaches don’t just talk strategy — they prove it

This event is primarily invite-only. However, we occasionally review open applications from players, coaches, and teams who bring unique energy or storytelling potential. If you’d like to be considered, please submit your info below — and don’t worry, if we’ve already reached out to you, your spot is already on our radar  

This is where teaching meets performance. Where every move, every read, and every decision is tested — on film, under pressure, and in front of a worldwide audience.

On Ultimate Poker Cruises, coaching becomes a competition.
You’re not just guiding players — you’re leading them into battle.

And when your team shines, you shine.

This isn’t theory. This is poker reimagined as an adventure sport.

You’ll recruit your own team of five to nine players, each with a mix of talent and personality — thinkers, risk-takers, and grinders. 

Together, you’ll face off against other elite coaches and their teams in both filmed poker events and off-table challenges designed to test leadership, communication, and adaptability.

It’s more than a title. It’s legacy.
Win here, and you’ll be known as the coach who not only talks the talk — but backs it up on camera.

•  Filmed Feature Tables: Every hand counts. You and your players could be featured in high-definition broadcasts for fans to relive.
   
• Final Table Glory: Make it to the end, and you’ll walk the red carpet, share your story in a studio interview, and leave with a highlight reel worthy of a champion.
   
• Pokerlympics Events: Fun, team-based beach challenges that blend poker logic with physical and mental games — because poker is now an adventure sport.
   

To enter Coach vs Coach, assemble your team and submit your application.
You’ll need:

• A short team introduction
   
• Team name and matching shirts (yes, make it bold!)
   
• One strong player in PLO or mixed games
   
• One player who embodies great team spirit — the “glue” who keeps everyone together
   

Once approved, you’ll be officially announced as part of the Ultimate Poker Champion roster — and your journey to the title begins.

This is your stage. Your legacy. Your chance to become the first-ever Ultimate Poker Coach Champion.
