Brandon Wilson Wins Poker Masters Finale; David Coleman Earns Purple Jacket

Doug shut the hell up no one wants your constant updates so you can peddle your low ROI/high markup action

Was watching a Jason Koon hand and spotted Doug Lee

if you count going from Big Game to 1/2 not being busto, I guess . . .

still playing.

This guy…(starts at 15 seconds in…you won’t be disappointed)

i had forgotten about this clip! thank you.

samjazzykins@coinpoker. he seemed to have unlimited funds and then disappeared with the quickness.,

still playing 2k PLO, i guess...

haven't seen any HHs with him and now KakiTee (CP-affiliate) is playing with him. CP is offering 100% rakeback during March. i dunno.

The whole site is super sus. He 'samjazzykins' was reported to be the new owner of CP, and bought it from Tony. But nobody is allowed to know anything about the owners identities, on an unregulated crypto site, that has just done an update which effectively doubles the rake. Totally insane to think people play nosebleeds here. Feels like one big ponzi.

Damn, meth is obv a powerful drug lol!

Whatever happened to Marco and QuadJacks btw?

Plays daily in Houston PLO games. Played with him this past weekend. Still as salty as ever to the dealers when he loses a pot and sunshine and rainbows when he wins one.

Did he stop the $300 airport scam and quit poker?

Ask Chainsaw. That was his best bud and protector

odd oddsen

His last activity here was 2017.

He was rightfully banned because he was asking to be staked. Seemed incapable of stopping his airport scam.

Matthew Janda? I know he was never a huge presence outside being an author but is he still doing anything in the poker community?

Might have been a temp ban. He is not banned atm. His last ban was December 2014.

His last post/thread which trigged a thread of over 500 posts without any additional response from him.

Isn't he in prison? I thought i remember that happening at some point but my memory might be hazy on when. Perhaps he'll chime in

What happened to Steve Gross the online poker tournament legend?

This is a good one. I like to look that hendon and see if a disappearance coincides with a lack of tournament scores for several years. I think hes kind of like that. Been out of the game as far as tournaments go for 8 years.

Was put in one of the most difficult financial decisions in a tournament possible (and probably of all time)
