Day 2 of the $10,000 WSOP Main Event and I'm coming in short with just 39,500 chips — and I end up playing the most absurd hand of my career. From turning QUADS with 8-3 suited on my very first hand of the day, to flatting pocket kings and spiking a miracle Broadway straight against an all-in shove on an A-J-10 flop, this poker vlog has it all: coolers, suckouts, bluff catches, and a 5x chip-up to bag 221,000 heading into Day 3.
Along the way: a visit from poker's "Grim Reaper," my famous ice cream dance, a four-bet all-in with king-three, and the deep-run strategy that's kept me battling the World Series of Poker Main Event for over two decades.
In 2003, I was just a regular accountant from Nashville with a dream and an $86 online satellite ticket. What happened next? I went on to win the World Series of Poker Main Event — walking away with $2.5 million and a bracelet I still can't believe is real.
People say I started the poker boom. All I know is I sat down, trusted my game, and never looked back. If I can do it, so can you, and that's exactly why I'm here.
On this channel, I'm pulling back the curtain on everything. The hands, the stories, the life, and the lessons that come with being in this game for over two decades. Whether you're a seasoned grinder or just learning what a flop is, there's a seat at the table for you.
