The Match Indian Poker League (MatchIPL) has joined up with MTV to find the next Indian poker star and to show that yes, poker is a game of skill. MTV has launched “Pro Hunt,” a series designed to boost MatchIPL’s event and find the best players in the country through a series of online qualifiers.

MTV launched its Pro Hunt on September 28, giving players a chance to participate in the upcoming MatchIPL event, which will take place on October 23 and 24 in Mumbai. According to the show’s tagline, “If you think you’ve got what it takes to be a poker pro, visit PokerRaj and participate for free in the weekly online MIPL tournaments.”

Since it began, three players have already qualified for one of the eight spots that are available. Players are encouraged to sit down at one of the online satellites that are being offered by PokerRaj, MatchIPL’s partner site.

Poker is a contentious subject in India. It has been growing in popularity, but opponents, who have gained support of lawmakers, bill it as nothing more than a game of chance. The MTV/MatchIPL endeavor, as well as others, is designed to show the general public that there is definitely a level of skill needed to be successful at the felt.
