Amazon and Poker Central will be hosting an interesting "Worlds Collide" event next week on May 24th, where some of the biggest names in eSports and professional poker players are going to face off.
Worlds Collide will see three poker pros and three top Hearthstone pros compete in both games in a one-day event, that will be streamed live on Poker Central's Twitch channel.
