Chris Moneymaker (yes, that’s his real name) just beat end boss Alex Foxen to win a $15k event. Extremely impressive, as while I have always appreciated him as an ambassador, he is also proven himself
a legitimate top-notch poker pro.

So cool!
Appreciate that. I was the AD on that movie and it remains the best job I ever had in 35 years in the movie business. Every day was so much fun. Fun fact: the interior of Teddy’s place was above Lee’s art supply on W 57th street. They had that cool elevator in the building so we shot it there.

Being a big music fan I was already subscribed to SiriusXM, but NickSchulman’s show makes it worth 2x as much.

It is so depressing to still have to go to Twitter for poker news when this maniac is still in charge over there.

Love to see poker posts, but please be do not equate “luckbox” and “fraud.” Sadly the game has had a lot of players who were actual frauds (anybody heard from Ali I. lately?) and running hot is no crime.
wsop chip leader jumalon is a luckbox fraud. every hand i saw him win involved getting his money in bad. catching up on what happened when i stopped watching was more of the same. there has to be some game there to even get to day 8 but jfc.

Very understandable and reasonable to implement shot clocks next year, especially with coverage back on ESPN. But it is absurd to change the rules of an event already in progress.

Erik Seidel running deep in the #WSOP $100k. Not enough credit is given to this LeBron-like legend. His Hendon Mob dates back to 1988! No other player from that era is still a threat against the toughest fields in the world.

Clown show.
I know stuff like this gets attention and is harmless fun, but there is so much drama and great storylines in at the #WSOP main event outside of this. Phil’s look at me antics feel tired.

Sadly #poker Bluesky isn’t a thing, but if it was my post about the terrible decision to air the WSOP milli-maker over the PPC (with Ivey as a top 3 stack!) would get tons of engagement.

I don't know if this is a hot take, but #WSOP streaming isn't being well promoted, and if the talent/plans are promising, that's only because it is the best of what we had with PokerGO.

Why does this still seem like gambling to you?
What’s a movie line you say all the time, even though it makes no sense to anyone who hasn’t seen the movie? It’s this one for me, by like a mile.

Absolutely insane what Michael Mizrachi just accomplished in winning the WSOP main event after winning the Poker Player’s Championship earlier in the series. I’m not even sure what to compare it to tbh.
They literally inducted him into the poker hall of fame on the spot.

Things that are ridiculous
1. That Caesars launched a screwed-up redesign of WSOP.com, omitting essential information.
2. That I have to go to bad site to get basic summer poker series info.

I have such poker brain I immediately thought of Rounders, and was confused for a second when I read the second sentence.

It's notable that with Keating and Texas Mike behind him each with massive stacks, Erick had by far the toughest seat, while Steve had position on them both.
But Koon or Robl in Steve's seat and they win $1m.
