As a Coolbet ambassador, Ylva streams weekly online qualifiers for The Festival Series from this Monday and Tuesday onwards, bringing her viewers directly into the action with a no-delay, engaging broadcast style. Her Twitch channel, Jevakim, has become a go-to for fans who enjoy a mix of strategy, community, and live event coverage (as she also streams poker action from the live tables!). Where before it was only in her Norwegian language, she switched to English to reach a larger audience. She often has guests from the European poker scene on her stream, and perfectly keeps track of the tournaments she plays and organises on the Coolbet poker client. She then shares it in her own Facebook community.
Off the felt, Ylva is known for her love of food, wine, and her dogs, Ronja and Hyenna. Whether she’s at the tables or behind the camera, Jevakim continues to be a respected and energetic figure in the European (mixed) poker scene. We are thrilled by her visits to The Festival Series over and over again, where she also has made deep runs in the €550 Main Events, and she even won a side event! You want to know how her day-to-day life looks like, filled with poker? Make sure to follow her on her social media channels!
Dag Nilsen aka Acerziggy: Coolbet Ambassador and Norwegian Poker Streamer
Dag Nilsen, better known as Acerziggy, is a well-known Norwegian poker player and Coolbet ambassador. With several strong finishes at the Norwegian Poker Championship—including a 3rd place in the 2019 Main Event for 520,000 NOK—he’s earned respect for his sharp play and consistent results. Although he did have his difficulties during yesterday's stream with Franke!
Acerziggy is also a familiar face on Twitch, where he streams, among others, Coolbet’s online qualifiers and engages the poker community with live commentary and often has friends co-hosting his stream. Known for his calm style and competitive spirit, he blends years of poker experience with his background in strategy gaming.
Dag's affinity for strategy games began early, with a notable achievement of being ranked number one globally in the game Dune 2000 during his youth. His transition to poker was a natural progression, combining his strategic mindset with the dynamics of the game. Balancing his time between poker, gaming, and family, Dag remains a ionate and wonderful person to have around at the live poker tables, as well as the virtual poker tables.
