Last week, “Breaking Bad” actor Aaron Paul was a guest on the “Late Late Show with James Corden.” This week, he’s the newest member of the Global Poker League’s LA Sunset, the second and final wild card pick from team manager Maria Ho.

“I love poker as a game and mind sport, so I’m excited to be part of this new eSports league,” Paul said. “Representing the LA Sunset together with some of the best players in the world should be a blast.”

A blast indeed. Paul joins a Sunset team that includes Fedor ‘CrownUpGuy’ Holz, Olivier Busquet, Eugene Katchalov, and Chance Kornuth, a veritable gauntlet of poker talent. The Sunset’s players have a combined career winnings north of $30 million, according to the league.

Paul may be best known for playing Jesse Pinkman on the hit AMC show “Breaking Bad.” He’s also a lead on the ongoing Hulu show “The Path” and played Joshua in the 2014 movie Exodus: Gods and Kings. He has been acting ever since the late 1990s, according to IMDB.

“Poker as we know it has existed for decades, but with the eSports boom, the GPL is creating a new competitive format very similar to what conventional sports have done in the US,” Ho said. “We’ve had a lot of opportunities to include celebrities who happen to also be talented players, but in my experience Aaron is one of the most committed to the sport of poker right now. He wants to learn and beat the best. He’s an amazing addition to the LA Sunset and I’m hoping he’ll end up being a pivotal part of our team being a winning hand.”

GPL President Alex Dreyfus, who is guiding the league into its second week of matches, added, “We created GPL to engage with the game’s global fan base. Having Aaron Paul joining the league with a wild card spot on the LA Sunset is an amazing milestone for us, especially because he himself is a real fan. I can’t wait to see him learn, play, and I hope he does well.”

After Week 1, Ho’s team is in fourth place in the GPL Americas Standings out of six teams with nine points and one win. Busquet beat the Sao Paulo Mets’ Darren Elias in the opening week of the league, defeating Elias in the first two games before Elias took the third match. The team is back in action on Thursday of this week, facing off against the Las Vegas Moneymakers, captained by 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event winner Chris Moneymaker.

The Global Poker League consists of a dozen franchises. Its first-ever draft was held in February alongside the American Poker Awards in the Sunset’s home city of Los Angeles. The regular season of the league, which seeks to “sportify” poker, culminates in the playoffs this fall and the GPL Finals in London in November.

According to the league, there are over 51 million poker fans in US and over 100 million around the world.
