A little over 4 years ago, I started streaming 2c/5c cash games to an audience of around 10 people.
Today I took 3rd in the $5,200 Stadium Series
@PokerStars
for $70,633 with 30,000 + people watching.
For once, I am speechless.
Thank you!
THE TWO TIME WCOOP CHAMPION! BROUGHT ONE HOME IN THE $1050 TURBO PKO!
$67,969 FOR 1ST!
ABSOLUTE LOSS FOR WORDS RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO TUNES IN!. MAGIC!
2022 Poker results so far.
On Sunday I bought in for $7,387. I cashed for $16,825.
That is a net profit of $9438.
At this rate if I play everyday, I'll win $3,425,994.
Much better.
Here it is. The sickest hand I've ever streamed. 5 players left on the Final Table of the $530 Bounty Builder.
@tonkaaaap
and I are 1st and 2nd in chips. Everyone else is miles behind...
Then this happens...
Pretty sure this DM was not intended for me, but rather
@MarleCordeiro
. Sad to see such anger and delusion in a message like this. I mean, who in their right mind thinks that I'm a good poker player.
And this joker thinks he can step to me in the poker streets! 😂😂😂. Anytime, anywhere mate, and bring your little
@Sidemen
crew and I'll finish them and all.
Spectated the South Point $150 until 2am! The winner took it home with FOUR OF A KIND QUEENS in the last hand! Because I watched for so long, they let me take a photo with the champion! Very Cool!
Poker player on a downswing: Short term results are irrelevant, it's all variance and noise until you've played at least 10,000 tournaments.
After winning 1 MTT: I've been studying hard, played my A game, was really focused. Been eating and sleeping well. Good to see it pay off.
Was down to 7000 chips at my lowest. Had between 10 and 15bb for about 5 hours but survived in the patient structure and somehow pulled 153,500 into a Day 3 bag in the $10,000 World Series of Poker MAIN EVENT!!
Making my way down to the Bellagio 5/10 game where
@TheBradOwen
has invited me to play. Excited to see which 3 hands he chooses to play over the course of his 8 hour session this evening.
You travel to Las Vegas. You pay $10,000 to play the World Series of Poker Main Event.
You have 60,000 chips. The blinds are 100/100. You make it 400 with two Kings, (the cowboys), and this guy moves all in for 60,000. You got what it takes to call? I'm Main Event ready baby.
Pretty heart breaking end to take 2nd place in the SCOOP $1k today. $44,171 is a pretty damn nice runner up prize but the trophy just slipping away is, of course, painful.
Amazing support from everyone on Twitch. We go again for the rest of SCOOP.
Much love ❤️
Finally followed in the footsteps of my hero
@EasyWithAces
and shipped his tournament!
1st in the $530bb HR for $21,545!!
Took 5th in the $55 mini version from 3300 runners for a near miss on the double trophy.
Incredible day on Twitch.
Thank you all.
@alexandrabotez
Congrats! My friend
@tonkaaaap
has been playing for 13 years and has never won a live poker tournament! Nice to see you hit this milestone, quite comfortably, before he did! 👍
I AM BACK STREAMING THE MOST ENTERTAINING STREAM IN THE HISTORY OF TWITCH POKER STREAMING MAYBE EVER!! FEELING FIRED UP 🔥🔥🔥🔥! IF THIS TWEET GETS 1000 LIKES ILL STREAM FOR 24 HOURS STRATIGHT TEST ME IDIOTS!
We fall to the AA of
@LexVeldhuis
, had to rock and roll with a very short stack and a top pair.
$40,955 for our run into 30th place. 17,000 people watching on twitch. Insane numbers for twitch poker, absurdly fun.
Very happy with everything that went down. Thank you everyone.
Apologies for sporadic streaming. I've been for several Dr/hospital appointments this week due to an ongoing issue with my heart. ECG found some stuff that needs more attention from a cardiologist. Should be fine, but apologies in advance if there's some more time off. Cheers x
With a very strict one account per player and no name change policy how come 'L.Veldhuis' is now listed as 'L.Veldhuis [4]' everytime I see him in tournamen lobbies? Explain please
@PokerStars
@LexVeldhuis
Im streaming poker downstairs.
@MarleSpragg
says shes going upstairs to chill, I go up on break and she's watching poker on Twitch! Who is she watching? None other than
@LexVeldhuis
! What a joke.
I've lived in my house for 7 years and I'm yet to make a 6 figure score.
@tonkaaaap
has been staying with me for 4 days and snap wins $170,000 on
@PokerStars
. Hilarious.
What a ridiculous day! Celebrated my 30th birthday and made Day 3 in the $10,300 SCOOP Main Event. $26.7k locked up! One away from a pay jump to $33k!
Biggest stream of all time and tomorrow we play for $1,000,000 + live on stream with my man
@LexVeldhuis
in the final 40 too!
Yesterday on stream, I witnessed a player flop 4 of a kind and then LOSE to runner, runner royal flush.
Here's a clip where we can all relive that exciting moment.
I'm sat around the negotiating table with this guy. There's talk of him streaming WCOOP at my house in a streamer house / grind house type scenario. What say the people?
Absurd 1st day of WCOOP 2022
@pokerstars
. The PKO World Championship event is a $5,200 Buy in.
We have already won $38,841.
9 players remain. We are coming back Monday 5.30pm to play for over $200,000 for 1st! MASSIVE sweat!
See you there tomorrow LIVE ON TWITCH!
What a day! Mixed it up with the elite of online poker, battled with the absolute best and find ourselves 3/11 with nearly $15,000 locked up.
Made Day 2 in the $530 as well with 45 left. Tomorrow, live on Twitch, I battle for $120,000 and $80,000 up top in 2 Day 2s.
Unreal.
You are looking at 33% of the reamining UKIPT Main Event field.
6 players remain. Myself and my good friend Fintan Hand, better known as
@EasyWithAces
online, will be battling it out for the trophy tomorrow.
It's all to play for, right here...on the UK AND IRELAND POKER TOUR!
5 from the money in the $1k Super Tuesday.
I bet the flop. Opponent check raises. I call.
Opponent bets turn. I call.
And then we get to the river. One of the wildest bluffs I've made on the $1k bubble!
It's 7am in Vegas.
@TheBradOwen
just got torched in the biggest game he's ever played and I lost $1.3m to the guy who invented mousetraps. We've been drinking. Vlog coming soon.
1691 players stepped up and 1690 went DOWN!
1st in the $77 for $13,401 and a $530 ticket!
The off stream 1 table pays off!
3rd tournament win of the year!
