A total of £40,000 ($53,800) cash can be won by the end of November 2021 in the Haymaker Knockout Series tournament. The first of seven £3,000 Free-To-Play poker tournaments took place on 29 September.

Haye joined the poker table the first evening and the player “lucky enough to knock him out” also won a £100 cash bounty.

The winner of each of the seven Hayemaker KO Series Tournaments will receive an invitation to play the £20,000 GTD Invitational Poker Tournament on 1 December. The Invitational Tournament will be played against the former World Heavyweight Champion and the game will be live-streamed from the Home of Poker in London.

On his Facebook page, Haye commented: “If you’re feeling competitive and want to face off against me, check out Grosvenor Poker’s page for information on how to register. If you’re new to poker the Haymaker KO series is a chance to play for free with no buy-in needed. Win a share of £40,000 cash and a chance to compete against me at The Victoria Casino in London.”
