Landon Tice Needles Jeremy Becker After Scoring Victory at Wynn

Thu, 29 Feb 2024 22:39:30 +0000

Now this is fun.

In the lead-up to this summers Landon Tice vs. Jeremy Becker crossbook bet, Tice, the Only Friends podcast co-host fired a shot across the bow by besting a 512-entry 2024 Wynn Million $400 No Limit Holdem event for $32,025 – putting Becker on notice and giving him the needle by posing in the winners photo with Beckers traditional three-five offsuit card combo.

The bet, which is actually between Daniel Negreanu (Beckers backer) and Matt Berkey (Tices mentor) is set to take place during the 2024 World Series of Poker. While as of this writing, all the details have yet to be formalized, its a crossbook between the two young rising stars. Essentially, they will play 25 agreed-upon events between May 28 and July 18, and whatever the difference is in winnings/losses between the two is what will end up being owed (with a proposed $500K cap per event).

Ten Players Poker Fans Want To See in HCL’s Million Dollar Game

Thu, 29 Feb 2024 21:03:59 +0000

Its going to be tough to top the iconic record-setting $3.1 million cash game pot from 2023, but Hustler Casino Live is going to give it a try. From May 28-31 the popular cash game livestream is bringing back its Million Dollar Game, an event that will almost assuredly generate some of the most preposterous pots of the year.

But if theres one thing diehard poker fans have learned – high stakes with huge stacks is simply not enough. Sure, the money is important but if we dont know or care about – love or hate – the people playing for those stakes, more often than not it doesnt elevate that show into a must-watch event.

Meet the Final Table of the 2024 EPT Paris Main Event

Sun, 25 Feb 2024 00:41:09 +0000

The best televised (and livestreamed) poker is driven by narratives and hands that will go down in infamy, and the 2024 EPT Paris has had both of those elements on lockdown. After a Day 5 in which David Kaufmann wriggled out of a devastating set over set cooler when Ami Barer made a painful (and ultimately devastatingly incorrect) hero fold, Kaufmann ran away with the chip lead and set himself up with every chance to win his first major title.

Miami John, Poker’s Iron Man, Presses Pause to Focus on His Health

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 23:05:18 +0000

In March of 2020, just before the world shut down, Miami John Cernuto was honored with The Hendon Mob Award at the Global Poker Awards. At that point in time, he had 517 recorded live cashes on The Hendon Mob, which was the most of any player all time.

All hes done since the world opened back up is rattle off another 71 cashes, including 17 tournament victories. Cernuto recorded a cash on New Years Day 2024 to make it 38 consecutive years with at least one tournament result. But in recent weeks, Cernuto has stepped away from the action for what may well be his longest hiatus since the mid-1990s, as he began receiving treatment for an ongoing illness that has put a temporary stop to his efforts to continue to push his all-time record beyond 588 results.

They could only pick each team once in a season, and the last person standing wins the whole pot, which reached over $9 million this season.

New Aussie Friends Made Konstantin Held’s WPT Cambodia Win ‘Surreal’

Wed, 07 Feb 2024 19:40:07 +0000

Friendship is a funny thing in the world of poker, especially when it comes to tournaments. The same people who youre battling against for titles and life-changing sums of money are the ones you grab a late-night meal with and talk through hand histories and theories with.

Its rare in such an individualistic pursuit as poker that two friends can come out of the same event with a significant victory. And yet when it does happen in just the right way, the tense atmosphere that surrounds the endgame of a tournament can become a scene of celebration.

Jaime Staples Isn’t Living a Lie Anymore

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 18:05:11 +0000

Jaime Staples was on top of the world, or so it seemed. In the year leading up to March 2018, the poker streamer lost 115 pounds and won a $75,000 bet. He was championed in the mainstream press and became an inspiration to thousands.

But not a day goes by when the 32-year-old desnt regret the whole thing.

Borgata Victory Signifies Arrival of The Funaro Brothers

Mon, 05 Feb 2024 17:05:04 +0000

Frank Funaro piled into the frame for the winners photo. The former #1-ranked U.S. online pro is no stranger to winning – with nearly $2.8 million in live scores and another $3.3 million in online earnings, the 28-year-old knows what it takes to get to the top. However, this particular winners photo was not actually for Frank. In fact, Frank wasnt even the featured Funaro in the shot. That honor belonged to his youngest brother, Nick, who, just after turning 21, marched his way through a field of thousands of players to capture his first live poker title and an enormous six-figure score.
