$5k to $100k in 2 days???
Dear friends, fans, and tournament lovers...
If you’re new here, every week we talk about one hand that stuns, shocks, or just makes our eyes pop out of their sockets 👀. We call it the Hand of the Week!
Now that I have your attention, let me thank Justin Young and PokerGO studio for making the HOTW video easy on us this week.
Normally our Table 1 Hand of the Week occurs, well, in our Table 1 cash game of course. But this week it’s a little bit of a different story. We were playing over at Table 1 when Justin noticed that late registration was about to close for PokerGO kickoff event #3. A $5k buy-in tournament over at the pokerGO Studio just around the corner from the Aria Casino.
Fast forward 1 day and Justin is entering the final 6 of the tournament with 10 big blinds. Not much of a stack, but in the hunt nonetheless. Never one to shy away from the underdog role, not only did he make it to the final 3 of the tournament…THIS crazy 3 way all-in emphasized the underdog in all his glory.
I’ll let the video in this tweet from PokerGO tell the rest of the story.
And if you haven’t checked out the Table 1 Podcast yet, here’s our first episode where Justin details how he lost his bankroll to Dan Bilzerian. We also tell our stories of how we got into poker and moved to Las Vegas.
Cheers,
