Nina Drama has set poker fans buzzing after a viral video breaking down the basics of the game captured widespread attention online.

The UFC content creator and model — whose real name is Nina Marie Daniele — shared a tongue-in-cheek clip explaining the fundamentals of Texas Hold’em on behalf of Stake, one of the world’s largest online sports and casino brands.

Posted with the caption “rate my poker outfit,” the innuendo-filled video quickly gained momentum, amassing more than four million views across X and Instagram.

Viewers were quick to recognise the inspiration, drawing comparisons to Kylie Jenner’s recent Vanity Fair video released the week prior, with Stake encouraging audiences to weigh in on who did it better.

The lighthearted tutorial resonated strongly with both poker enthusiasts and Nina’s fanbase, many of whom praised her comedic approach to introducing the game to newcomers.

Nina has built a substantial online presence through her coverage of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, where her interviews and social content frequently go viral. She now commands millions of followers across platforms including Instagram, X, and TikTok.

The campaign forms part of Stake’s broader strategy of collaborating with top creators and sports personalities to produce social-first content for its global audience of sports and gaming fans.

EvenBet Gaming, a leading developer of online gaming software and solutions, has enhanced its poker platform with the launch of two in-house side games, designed to boost player engagement and open new revenue opportunities for operators.

The new titles, Baccarat and Hold’em Guess’em, provide entertaining options for players between hands, during breaks, or while waiting for the next round. Both games are fully compatible with desktop and mobile devices, allowing seamless transitions between poker and side gameplay without disrupting the session.

Baccarat: Classic Casino Action at the Poker Table

EvenBet Gaming brings the iconic Player vs Banker card game to the poker environment. Players can bet on predefined outcomes with fixed payouts, while all card draws are managed by a random number generator. Baccarat can be launched in a separate window and revisited at any time, making it an ideal low-attention side game for poker sessions.

For operators, Baccarat introduces a new revenue model with a fully customisable house edge, allowing the experience to be tailored to specific business strategies. The game is particularly appealing to Asian markets, where Baccarat enjoys enduring popularity.

Hold’em Guess’em: Predict the Winning Hand

In partnership with BetChill, EvenBet Gaming has developed Hold’em Guess’em, a single-player prediction game that combines familiar Texas Hold’em mechanics with a simple betting twist. Players predict the winning hand of a real-time Texas Hold’em deal.

The game automatically calculates odds based on win probability and the pre-set house edge. Bets, potential wins, and limits are updated in real-time, creating a fast, intuitive, and engaging gameplay experience. Hold’em Guess’em is designed to attract both traditional poker enthusiasts and casino audiences looking for quick, skill-light entertainment.

Strengthening the Side Game Portfolio

With the introduction of Baccarat and Hold’em Guess’em, EvenBet Gaming now offers three proprietary side games, joining Cowboy Hold’em, which launched in 2025. These new releases complement the company’s growing product ecosystem, which also includes Spins Poker and One Click Poker, all focused on increasing player engagement and diversifying monetisation opportunities for operators.

Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO of EvenBet Gaming, commented:

“Side games are an effective way for operators to increase poker revenue while keeping players entertained between rounds.

Baccarat is a globally recognised casino favourite, with particular appeal in Asia, while Hold’em Guess’em introduces a unique, prediction-based mechanic to the market. Together, these titles expand the entertainment options on our platform and allow operators to reach new audiences beyond traditional poker players.”

These additions reinforce EvenBet Gaming’s strategy of combining innovative gameplay with proven casino mechanics, enhancing both player retention and operator revenue across multiple markets.

Massive tournaments headline the next phase of the $50 million guaranteed OSS XL

ACR Poker’s flagship Online Super Series (OSS) XL has already generated more than $22.3 million in prize pools during its first week, setting the stage for the series’ biggest tournaments yet as $5 million in Main Event guarantees begin this weekend.

Players can compete in three monster tournaments: two $2 million guaranteed Main Events ($2,650 and $1,050 buy-ins), and one $1 million guaranteed Main Event ($215 buy-in). Day 1A starts this Sunday, followed by Day 1B on Sunday, March 22nd and Day 2 on Monday, March 23rd.

“The OSS XL has already seen huge participation in the opening week, but Main Events are where the biggest moments happen,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “With $5 million guaranteed in three tourneys starting this weekend, these events are always among the most exciting in the series.”

Running through Monday, March 23rd, the OSS XL features more than $50 million in guarantees and tournaments for players of all bankroll levels, with buy-ins starting from just $0.55.

One of the early highlights from the series so far was the first guaranteed edition of Phil’s Thrill XXL, which smashed its $1.5 million guarantee to generate a $2,060,000 prize pool from 206 entries, with ‘ErculePokero’ winning the title and $460,027. Adding extra excitement, ACR Pro Jon Pardy is tackling a 120-hour OSS XL grind that only ends early if he wins a tournament. The stream gives fans a behind-the-scenes look and features giveaways, on-stream challenges, and bankroll-building opportunities.

In addition to the Main Events, several multi-flight tournaments remain on the schedule. These include the $1.5 million guaranteed event ($630 buy-in), two $500,000 guaranteed Mystery Bounty events ($109 buy-ins), plus lower buy-in Mystery Bounty events with $150,000 guaranteed ($33 buy-in) and $100,000 guaranteed ($5.50 buy-in).

Players can also compete for additional prizes through ACR Poker’s OSS XL Leaderboard Contest, with $65,000 in cash and tournament tickets awarded across three tiers. The High Stakes ($104.50 buy-ins and above) will award a $15,000 top prize, while the Mid Stakes ($16.50 to $88 buy-ins) and Low Stakes (under $15 buy-ins) will award $7,500 and $4,000 for first place, respectively.
