The year of poker couples? Ari Engel and Jo Kim show their adventures traveling together

The world of poker is usually quite individualistic and solitary. Once we sit at the table, there is no one to help us in every dangerous and tense situation we experience. Each mind that comes to compete has its own tools to solve all the enigmas that arise. However, it seems increasingly common to see professional player couples competing in the same festivals (separately, obviously).

In recent years, the figures of Alex Foxen

United States
and Kristen Foxen
Canada
stole all the attention in the most prestigious tournaments, as both were great players, in addition to maintaining a long-standing romantic relationship.

A new couple seems to have emerged on the scene, composed of Brock Wilson

United States
and Cherish Andrews
United States
. The players are competing in the US Poker Open of the PokerGO Tour and have already won one tournament each. Apparently, these two could be major protagonists for the rest of the season.

However, there is another couple who, despite their low profile, have been gaining views on YouTube for some months now. This is Ari Engel

Canada
and Jo Kim
United States
. These two players not only travel together, playing poker tournaments all over the United States, but also film vlogs in which they capture all the adventures they experience side by side.

In their latest video, the couple shows a bit of what their last trip was like, in which they played the Caribbean Poker Experience. The player shared a preview of her video on her social media.

I hadn’t realized how dull I’ve become until I saw myself in this video,” Kim wrote, concerned, on her X account. “Editing forced me to see something I’ve been avoiding for a long time. Somewhere along the way, after countless hands and years of playing, I stopped celebrating my own victories. I became jaded…”

Perhaps it’s not the most cheerful and promising introduction for a vlog that seeks to show the fun of couple life and the behind-the-scenes of poker players’ lives traveling with companions to their destinations. Let’s hope that Engel’s company manages to rekindle the spark in Kim and that they can enjoy their experiences together.
