Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen have teamed together to host Meet-up Games (MUG) all around the world, including places such as Cambodia. In November, the popular poker vloggers will take their show on the road to Jacksonville for the World Poker Tour (WPT) bestbet Scramble Festival.

The series runs Oct. 26 to Nov. 14 in Northern Florida and is highlighted by the $5,000 buy-in Main Tour event starting Nov. 10 at the bestbet Jacksonville poker room, one of the top spots in the Southeast for poker.

While much of the focus during the festival will be on tournament play, the poker vloggers will bring some cash game action to the series. The MUG will take place on Nov. 9, one day prior to the start of the Main Event.

��Jacksonville is new stomping grounds for us,�� Owen said in a press release. ��We��re hoping to see some fresh faces at the MUG as well as followers traveling in for the festival. Should be a great warmup for the WPT bestbet Scramble Championship event.��

For those who've never attended a MUG, the games are laid back and socializing more than in a normal cash game is encouraged. Neeme and Owen, both WPT ambassadors, will make their way around the tables throughout the night so as to give everyone a shot to play some pots against them.

The poker pros and co-owners of The Lodge Poker Club in Texas have been hosting MUG's for years now. They began doing so at casinos in Las Vegas where they reside, but over the past few years have expanded the MUG phenomenon around the United States and even outside the country.

If you're interested in playing in the Jacksonville MUG, a $3/$5 no-limit hold'em cash game ($300 to $1,500), it would be wise to get on the list early. There are 20 tables set up for the vlogger's fans, but those will fill up quickly and the rest will be put on a waiting list. Play will begin at 2 p.m. local time and bestbet Jacksonville will stream the MUG action on the casino's YouTube channel.

��Florida has always been among the top of my list of states with the best poker action,�� Neeme said in the press release. This will be my first experience in the North Florida poker scene. I have no doubt they're going to welcome us with open arms and a lack of folding. Thanks to bestbet Jacksonville for accommodating and streaming our friendly cash-game get together.��

Beyond playing cash game poker among their followers, Neeme and Owen are both slated to play two tournaments during the festival, including the Main Event and the $300 WPT Celebrity Bounty on Nov. 8.
