I’m in Las Vegas. Entering the $10k
@WSOP
Main Event for the first time.
Playing Day 1D: 12:00 PT, Thu 6 July.
My timeline will now be dominated by updates from the tournament.
Good for the fans & investors. But my apologies if hand histories & chip counts aren’t your thing!
Suffice to say, Mike Sexton was an inspiration and a personal hero of mine. His work on the WPT influenced my career.
He was one of the greatest ambassadors poker had.
He will be missed by everyone. His family, his friends and his fans.
#ThankYouMike
It’s over.
Jammed 45bbs with KK. Ran into AA. It happens.
Had an absolute blast. Loved the experience.
Thanks for all the support. Apologies to my investors.
#WSOPMainEvent
Lost a flip to bust *just* outside the top 100 in the
#SundayMillionAnniversary
.
But incredibly happy with the result. Thanks to everyone who railed or sent messages of support. 🙏🏼
(Plus, my 100% record in the Sunday Million is intact! I’m 2/2 in cashes 😝)
An incredible result. My personal favourite since Vicky in Sanremo 10 years ago.
Congrats,
@barnyboatman

And thanks to everyone who watched our live coverage of

As discussed on this week’s podcast…
My dad was immortalised in Gus Hansen’s ‘Every Hand Revealed’. He was the “tight” player who made a weak pre-flop 3-bet and then failed to continue with his flopped set in the 2007 Aussie Millions!
RIP ❤️
Time to go home.
This was my 20th trip to Las Vegas.
In the last week, I have lost/spent more money than during the other 19 combined!
Still…
Best. Vegas. Trip. Ever.
The last eight days have been intense, exciting and exhausting. I feel we took
#PokerStarsTV
to a new level and put on a great show. I really hope we get a chance to do it all again. Thanks for watching
#PCA2018
. Good night from the Bahamas!
I can confirm that the
@PokerStars
podcast *will* be back next month.
First episode of 2020 = Thursday 6th February.
Thanks for your patience & support.

I know we have a (somewhat) cantankerous on-air relationship, and I throw a lot of shit at him as part of our “act,” but
@Stapes
is an incredibly kind and understanding person, and one of my closest friends.
It’s a wrap...
The
#PSPC
and
#PCA2019

Thanks for watching

One last shot at redemption…
The final poker tournament I’m playing on this trip is today’s $600 Aria Classic.

I would like to congratulate
@EasyWithAces
for winning a SCOOP last night.
I would also like to apologise to all the movie fans who started following me 11 years ago, expecting film reviews, who will have no fucking idea who/what I’m talking about.
It’s been a long time since we covered Day 1 of a poker tournament on
#PokerStarsTV
.
But there’s never been an event like the
#PSPC
.
Experience the energy and excitement for yourself at 12:30 EST / 17:30 GMT / 18:30 CET:
You may have noticed I’m not on the mic for the start of today’s broadcast…
@PokerStars
very kindly gifted me a THIRD entry for the
@Irish_PokerOpen
.
So, here we go. 25bbs to start Day 2 (already up to 40bbs).
And, yes, that means tonight’s
#PokerStarsTV
freeroll is back on!
Are you ready?
We are!
It’s the first of 10 days of cards-up coverage from
#PCA2023
&
#PSPC
.
Day 2 of the $10k PCA Main Event is live on
#PokerStarsTV
at 12:30 ET (18:30 CET).
Today,
@PokerStars
is celebrating 2005: the year the PCA was first held at Atlantis.
It was also the year I was invited to play EPT Deauville.
(Have I ever mentioned that I knocked out
@elkypoker
on Day 2?!?)
Today, thanks to the efforts/energies of my friend and colleague
@Stapes
, I am playing the
@Irish_PokerOpen
Main Event.
I will be at the
#PokerStarsTV
table for the start of Day 1C!
You can watch (please don’t) at 12:30 BST…
Been thinking a lot about Shark Cage over the last couple of days…
It was one of my favourite shows to work on - both on the mic and behind the scenes.
What did you like / not like about the format?
If there were a third season, who would you like to see play?
After three days of watching CNN, I’m no closer to getting the final result of the election, but know the history of the Toyota logo and am now an expert in antique watches.
Thanks for all the kind words.
Being honoured at tonight’s
#GlobalPokerAwards
concludes the weirdest, most surreal, most dramatic, most exciting, most emotional, toughest and most rewarding two months of my entire life.
End of Level 1…
Won a decent pot with JJ.
Won a small pot with QQ (missed a bet on the river).
Won an OK pot with AQ (turned trips).
67k.
Coming back at 200/300/300.

#PokerStarsTV
I try to be as objective as possible when covering major tournaments.
But it’s going to be tough today.
Really want to see
#PlatinumPass
winner
@flush11sback
ladder-up at the
#PSPC
final table.
He’s 6/6, with 7bbs and a dream.
He’s already locked up $1m. The winner gets $4m.
I consider this a win for
#PokerStarsTV
(as well as all the other channels/platforms that benefit from employing Maria). Congratulations,
@MariaHo
! I hope your parents now see your sister as a 52-48 favourite, rather than 70-30!!!
OK, I know you’ve been waiting a while (more than a year, in fact), but the
#PSPC
TV shows are FINALLY airing in the UK & Ireland.
Thursdays nights (for the next nine weeks) on
@Channel4
.
First episode: midnight TONIGHT.
More than 1,000 players. More than $5m up top. Enjoy!
The Big 20 Rewind starts today.
20 tournaments linked to 20 moments in
@PokerStars
history.
Today, it’s a celebration of 2001, the year the Scheinbergs founded the company.
I had numerous interactions with Mark, but only met Isai once. I kept his business card as a memento :)
Thanks to everyone who came to
@HippodromeLDN
last night for
#PITE300
.
Hope you enjoyed the show!
The drinking and the poker continued until 3am, so I’m feeling a bit fragile today.
There’s only one solution…
Genuinely don’t understand the hate for
#RiseOfSkywalker
. Of course it’s not perfect. Of course there are flaws. But it’s non-stop action from start to finish, does a decent job of concluding an uneven nine-episode saga, and I fucking loved it!
End of Level 4…
Played four hands. Won two, lost two.
Most significant pot involved flopping a set and turning a house. Against trips.
Coming back for the final level of the day (300/600/600) with 79k.
