Ace of shamrocks (2025)

The whole PLO in one video - you are exposed for a bracelet and prize money with 2 pairs, your opponent is younger... so far, because he has half a deck of outs and more than 60% to win. Well, how is it?

In the Event #43: $50,000 Poker Players Championship, Phil Helmut dropped out of the fight for his 17th bracelet in 14th place, but played one of the most... unusual hands of the day. Apparently the strategy was not to mess with another Phil-Ivy.

"Everyone hates Martin: did the player mark the cards on the WSOP final table?!

The tiresome Czech Martin Kabrkhel torments everyone year after year in every tournament where he appears. This is a successful regular of Rozvadovsky King's Casino — he even won a WSOP bracelet there in a super-roller tournament for €100k in 2018. But first of all, he is famous not for his successes (despite the prize money under $ 12 million), but for his terrible character. He talks incessantly, takes time and endlessly teases opponents, introducing both players and viewers of broadcasts into the tilt.

In the PokerGO chat tonight, he was literally hailed by the whole world. And this is not surprising: Martin did not miss a single hand, constantly trying to get something done.

Everyone tried to forbid Martin to get up for a reason — for many years there have been rumors that he marks cards (which Dan Smith reminded him in his eyes, Martin was picturesquely indignant in response).
"Good luck to everyone except you," Smith said after flying out on the 6th. "I hope you get banned." Andrew Robl made the same suggestion: "How does he still play at the WSOP? I've seen him mark cards in all the tournaments where we crossed paths." Earlier, Artur Martirosyan also doubted the honesty of Kabrkhel's game: "He's either a cheater or a complete fool, it remains to be understood".

Today, everyone is carefully reviewing the recording of the broadcast — and there is a chance that Kabrkhel has finished playing. Several videos at once clearly show how he left marks on the shirts of the cards with his fingernails. It also looks very suspicious how carefully Martin looked at the shirts of the opponents' cards — collections of such moments also flooded social networks. "So, so, what are we here?", — Joe Ingram, a big fan of poker investigations, perked up."

An amazing story: a wandering video game streamer "retired" won the title of MOSS!

In the period from 2020 to 2021, an American named Bo, known as "BeauReads", traveled to US hotels and conducted video game streams from his temporary accommodation.

He made a living in various ways, including online poker, but he removed his results over the years from public ratings such as SharkScope.

At some point, he gave up video games, but continued to wander, as he did not have enough money for permanent housing.

In 2022-2023, he became the second prize-winner at the OSS, MOSS and BOSS tournaments several times, but only recently he managed to win the title. Last night, he won the $33 MOSS 75H PKO $30K Gtd tournament with 916 participants and received $4,106 along with the bounty.

Now his total winnings on PokerKing over the past year and a half is $9,675 for 490 tournaments with an average contribution level of $45.

After his victory, Bo turned to his friend, streamer BensBenz, with a suggestion: "Unexpectedly for myself, I won at night. Now I have the opportunity to go to Vegas! I can fulfill my dream, so if you have a place, I'm ready to go. Just tell me!"

They say that in order to bluff skillfully, you need to have big balls. It seems that the guy in the background will now only play the card and always tell the truth to this girl. 🤣

Exciting event at the WSOP: two players became millionaires!

On June 4, the World Series of Poker hosted the second day of the #3 Mystery Millions tournament with the Mystery Bounty format. This event with a $1,000 buy-in attracted more than 18,000 participants, setting a record for WSOP tournaments with such a high entry fee.

The main intrigue of the tournament was two million bounties, which were played on Sunday evening. The first million went to Shant Marashlyan from California. Just an hour later, the winner of the second millionth bounty was determined - Patrick Liang. Patrick first earned $25,000 from one bounty, and then turned the second into a million dollars.

Despite the fact that both million bounties in the $1,000,000 Mystery Millions tournament have already been played, the intrigue continues - after all, another million dollars will go to the winner of the tournament.

🔥 "Most players won't succeed": the hard truth about poker from Phil Galfond 🔥

Phil Galfond in a recent post cuts the truth about poker, and this is not what many would like to hear. He reminds his subscribers that reading tips on social networks will not replace real work on the game, and poker is not the same as it was 15 years ago.

🤷‍♂️ According to statistics, about 90% of poker players are in the red. A player's career is a difficult and unstable path. In addition, each player has his own ceiling, which is not always possible to overcome. Keep this in mind when you watch vlogs, handouts, or read training articles. The content in social networks is primarily entertaining, and each post with a set of life hacks should be titled with the words: "Try to apply it, but maybe you won't succeed."

Of course, coaches and experts can give good advice, and Phil himself tries to help the players become stronger. However, do not forget that just listening to smart people is not a full-fledged work on your game. You won't become a better player just by reading interesting posts and watching five-minute videos on YouTube. Hire a trainer, study your hands (with the help of someone), purchase courses, work with solvers and strengthen your psyche. Without all this, it is impossible to achieve success.

👨‍💻 Poker has become incredibly difficult. If in 2005 anyone could start earning a lot of money online, then in 2023 you will have to work hard to climb the limits. Be prepared for the fact that poker is sometimes unfair. For someone, everything is easier, and someone can work to exhaustion, but never achieve success. Everyone can learn to play poker, just as everyone can learn to write. However, not everyone can become a top writer.

There are only four out of 64 players left in the $25,000 WSOP heads-up tournament. Sean Winter will fight Chenresi Kun, and Chris Brewer will fight Doug Polk.

And interestingly, ChatGPT almost accurately determined this outcome at the top-16 stage! He guessed three of the four semifinalists and predicts Doug Polk's victory over Sean Winter in the final.

Doug himself has already called on his fans to come to the stands and support him tonight, as he has a chance for the 4th bracelet!

🔥 "Poker turned into an anthem of ludomania": Finding Equilibrium about the problems of Hustler Casino Live streams

The author of the cult blog about GTO unexpectedly criticized Hustler Casino Live. And he started from afar:

In November 1993, the first UFC fights took place in Colorado. They were not much like today's ones: fights with almost no rules and division into weight categories. Spectacularly, but the new sport did not achieve much success, fights were banned in most states. And today it is a multibillion—dollar empire - and all thanks to the fact that over the years barbaric fights have turned into competitions of the best athletes in the world.

🤷‍♂️ What does poker have to do with it? Of course, we are talking about Hustler Casino Live — a super-successful show with a huge audience. The producers removed the focus from the fact that poker is a game of skill, and made their streams an anthem of ludomania. Check out the latest airs: there players are trolled if they play tight, but if they are ready to bluff a million — they are heroes. Fervent gambling for a lot of money, what could be better?..

🔥 But let's take a look at the latest stream. The poker elite was represented there by two pensioners — Tom Dwan and Doug Polk (and even then the latter was obviously called only because of the huge audience). And it was thanks to them that the ether became the brightest with a margin, with very interesting hands. Well, it's not a coincidence! What kind of sport can become successful and popular if mediocre people play in the first leagues?

🙅‍♂️ Poker lunomania has ruined many lives. It is not customary to talk about this: such a little secret of the poker community, which is profitable to ignore. There is nothing to do about it, but it is wrong to praise ludomaniac.
