Will Jaffe caused a heated debate on Twitter when he criticized modern high-stakes poker pros for, in his opinion, their lack of emotion during televised games.

In this edition of The Muck, we share your two cents and give our thoughts on this controversial issue. To be clear, Jaffe is entitled to his opinion. If he doesn’t enjoy watching Chris Brewer and other high roller crushers compete, that’s his right. There really isn’t a right or wrong answer to the following question: should the high-stakes pros do more to show off their personalities on a live-stream or televised show?

High Rollers Respond

That tweet was met with some heavy criticism from some of the game’s biggest stars. Dan Smith responded: “No s**t, people have to try hard to win in super tough games. Everyone will act differently in a less competitive environment. Put me in a juicy game and I’ll show up high as Zamani*

*not actually id have a panic attack”

“Great take. Never been made before. Hope you get lots of likes,” a sarcastic Sam Greenwood responded to Jaffe’s post.

Brewer tweeted at Jaffe: “Actually quite tilted about this post. All I said is it would be fun to see Addamo in the game. I understand I’m not the target audience and the current formula has been a big success for Hustler.”

No one had a better response than Justin Bonomo, however. Poker’s all-time winningest live tournament player gave respect to Jaffe’s comedic skills, but also showed off some personality of his own in an epic “tough conversation” video.

Poker Fans Chime In

What does the poker community and those who tune in but don’t play the high roller events think about this issue? Unsurprisingly, we saw a solid mix of those in line with Jaffe’s opinion and some who sided more with the high-stakes pros.

“Don’t worry bro some people have aspirations to make it to the top and some are cool playing the same game and skill level for 20 years while trying to suck off Phil helmuth for some extra clout because they hate the game so much,” Jason Mo (@cuntycakes123) said in response to Brewer’s tweet. Mo and Jaffe had already been feuding on Twitter the past couple of weeks.

“The value from these streams don’t go to the players. They aren’t adding a % of stream revenues or sponsorships to the SHR prize pools. Why should these players sacrifice EV to make the broadcast product better in the short term?” retired Magic pro Tom Martell asked.

“For fwiw, I fell in love with poker watching streams of final tables with the game’s greats and I don’t find the loud streams of bad poker by obnoxious personalities for ridiculous money in the least entertaining,” @VictoriaL_64 argued.

“I think for the longevity of the game being televised entertaining is better, but these high rollers are trying to win so they need to concentrate more. Even Dnegs is quiet in them,” @jeffephoto opined.

“The same people who don’t understand this concept cry about not being invited to those juicy stream games. Gotta play ball to get onto the court. Enjoy the shit reg euros in the meantime,” @QuashHs wrote, siding with Jaffe.

“i’ve been playing poker for 22 years. I’m not gonna pretend to know anything about playing the stakes you’re playing. However I find it hard to believe that people as experienced as all of you can’t be jovial and have a good time without giving up edge. Maybe i’m wrong,” @LuxAeternaPoker tweeted at Dan Smith.

What’s the Real Issue?

There’s no doubt the high roller scene has changed over the past decade. Loudmouth trash-talker Tony G doesn’t often appear on TV to send players on their bikes anymore. Gus Hansen isn’t around to splash pots and throw money around like it’s going out of style these days. And Phil Laak, aka the “Unabomber,” isn’t the lovable high-profile poker celebrity he once was because he’s no longer in the spotlight.

Sure, Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth are putting on a show for the poker masses, and Mike “The Mouth” Matusow graces us with his presence every summer at the World Series of Poker (WSOP). But the modern era of poker at the toughest and most competitive level, the tournaments and cash games we all watch on PokerGO, is often criticized by some who want the players to show off more personality and emotion.

Poker isn’t the only game with a fan base that criticizes its superstars for, as some perceive it, lacking personality. Many of the top Major League Baseball athletes are viewed in the same way. Take Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout for example. We’re talking about a generational talent here — the Ken Griffey Jr. of his era. Trout’s only 31, but he’d be a mortal lock for the Hall of Fame if he were to retire today, which of course he wouldn’t because he’s still mashing.

The problem with Trout in the eyes of many baseball fans is that he’s seen as someone with a dull personality, which makes him difficult to market to certain types of casual fans and perhaps even some die-hards. When the greatest player in the sport the past decade doesn’t have a marketable personality, some have argued that isn’t good for baseball, but that’s objectively a faulty argument.

Before the public address announcer at Angel Stadium can even finish announcing, “now batting, number 27, Mike Trout,” the crowd erupts into a frenzy like the Beatles just arrived. So, apparently that “dull” personality isn’t hurting his stardom. That’s because he does his talking with his bat and his glove, not his mouth. Angels fans show up in droves to watch Trout hit a ball to the moon or leap the centerfield fence to rob a home run, not for him to talk smack to opposing pitchers and start fights with teammates.

Trout’s too focused on becoming an elite ballplayer to worry about his marketability. The same can be said about poker pros like Bonomo, Brewer, Stephen Chidwick, and all the other high rollers who are sometimes criticized for their perceived “dull” personalities. They do their talking with their chips. As Bonomo explained in his hilarious Twitter video, if he worried about entertaining the audience in ways that don’t involve stacking chips, he might lose some edge over the tough competition.

These elite level poker stars play for houses, sometimes Beverly Hills mansions, on a regular basis. That doesn’t change when the cameras are rolling. So, why would they give up edge just to make a segment of the poker fan base happy?

That said, Jaffe and those who agree with his point of view also aren’t wrong in their line of thinking. Everyone has a right to choose if they want to watch poker played at the highest level or poker played by a cast of colorful characters. In the modern era of poker, it’s rare to get both, but is that even a bad thing?

If you want the best of the best, watch the U.S. Poker Open. If you enjoy table talk and wild pots, tune in to Hustler Casino Live. Poker offers a little something for everyone.

The PokerNews Live Reporting Team was on-site at the 2023 €1,150 Irish Open Main Event, which drew 2,491 entrants and offered up a €2,428,475 prize pool. It marked the biggest-ever Irish Open Main Event and the largest poker tournament ever held in Ireland.

Scotland’s David Docherty, who qualified after winning a $109 online satellite on PokerStars, emerged as the champion to claim a €365,000 ($398,780) top prize.

Here’s a look at some of the biggest and most exciting hands captured by the PokerNews Live Reporting Team during the tournament.

David Docherty Turns $109 into €365,000 After 2023 Irish Open Main Event Victory

Johnson Busts Hartigan in Two Hands

On Day 1cd of the tournament, it was Level 5 (100/300/300) when EPT commentator James Hartigan had been moved from the live-streamed table to an outer table but that did not work out for him.

In the first hand, Mitch Johnson opened from early position, which Hartigan three-bet to 2,000 from the button. Johnson then responded with a four-bet to 5,300 after inquiring about Hartigan’s stack and Hartigan called.

The flop came down K♦8♣7♦ and Johnson continuation-bet for 2,800. Hartigan took one last peak at his cards before passing them to the dealer.

Johnson would bust Hartigan not much later when Johnson had a full house with 3♦3♠ on Q♠3♣6♠6♣. The rest of Hartigan’s stack went in with 6♥7♥ for turned trips. The river was the A♣, which resulted in Hartigan’s exit. However, he speeded to the reentry desk to fire another bullet.

Nitsche Doubles with Seven-Deuce

On Day 2 in Level 12 (800/1,600/1,600), Dominik Nitsche and Ian O’Flynn were involved in a blind-on-blind battle for a pot worth roughly 35,000. On a completed board of 4♦7♦J♦2♥3♥ O’Flynn had checked to Nitsche. Nitsche went all-in for 28,900 chips and O’Flynn asked the dealer for an exact count.

After the correct number was given, O’Flynn called. Nitsche had a surprise in store for O’Flynn as he showed 7♥2♦. Nitsche turned two pair and doubled up with the worst starting hand in hold’em.

You know what they say, ”Seven-deuce, never lose”.

Button Confusion Leads to Glaser’s Seven-Deuce Victory

Speaking of Seven-Deuce, a big hand took place on Day 3 in Level 26 (20,000/40,000/40,000). There was a lot of commotion over at Benny Glaser‘s table. Two floormen were discussing with the players and the dealer how to handle the situation that just occurred.

Allegedly, Glaser had put in a big blind and ante, thinking that he was in the appropriate position. However, the button was actually three seats prior, leading to two people putting in a small blind before Glaser’s big blind. No one at the table realized this before significant action had taken place, in the form of an 80,000 raise from Darren Harbinson and a fold.

The floor ruled that Glaser would get his 40,000 ante back and his big blind would count as an under the gun call. Meanwhile, the second small blind Daniel Rankin had to put in the additional 60,000 chips to cover the big blind and ante.

With the ruling set in stone, the hand continued as normally as it could. The action folded around to Rankin, who called, as did Glaser.

The flop was A♦4♦7♠ and both ”big blinds” checked to Harbinson, who fired a continuation-bet of 110,000. Rankin abandoned this ludicrous situation, but Glaser stuck around with a call. The turn fell the 9♠ and Glaser check-called another bet from Harbinson, this time for 190,000.

The river 2♥ saw Harbinson complete the triple barrel, firing for 255,000 after another check from Glaser. Glaser remarked ”This pot is f-ing crazy, I call”. Harbinson replied by saying ”You’re good, I missed my flush draw”, after which Glaser tabled a very surprising 7♦2♦ for a rivered two pair.

The showdown got some laughter from the crowd that had gathered around the table, but Glaser was the one who had the last laugh as he raked in a big pot that should not have ever happened in the first place.

Black Hits Royal Flush to Bust Beresford

Also on Day 2, albeit in Level 24 (10,000/25,000/25,000), two players were all in preflop with Andy Black holding the A♥10♥ and Conor Beresford the A♦10♠.

The flop came 2♦J♥K♥ and the turn came the Q♥ to give Black the rarest of hands, the Royal Flush. Beresford was eliminated from the event in 67th place.

You can check out that hand below:

Andy Black Jams with Six-Deuce

The above hand helped Black make it all the way to the final table, and as the poker world knows from his play at the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event final table, he isn’t afraid to mix it up. That was evidenced by a hand on Day 4 in Level 38 (300,000/600,000/600,000) when Declan Rice limped the small blind. Black shoved from the big blind and Rice looked him up. The commentators on stream were urging Rice to make the call. He thought for a bit and then called.

Andy Black: 6♣2♦
Declan Rice: A♣8♠

Black had attempted a blind steal and Rice had caught him at it. The flop ran out 9♥7♠6♣. Black hit a pair of sixes and audible gasps came from viewers on the rail.

The turn came the Q♦ and the river was the 5♥ to give Rice the straight. It was a legendary bust for a legendary player, who made the exit on his own terms. Black was eliminated in 5th place for €95,500.

Game-Changing Heads-Up Hand

Rice made it all the way to heads-up play against Docherty, and in Level 41 (600,000/1,200,000/1,200,000) a game-changing hand took place. Docherty made it 2,400,000 from the button and Rice called from the big blind.

The flop of 5♥K♦J♠ was dealt and Docherty continuation-bet for two million chips. Rice then responded with a check-raise to 5,000,000, which Docherty called.

All the signs of a big hand were in the air as the 8♥ turn was put on the felt. Rice continued with another bet, this time of 6,000,000. Again, Docherty obliged with a call.

The river was the 3♥ and Rice checked the flush-completing card. Docherty thought for a little while before moving all in for a bet worth 18,075,000. Rice responded with a rapid call and all onlookers spectated the situation in awe.

David Docherty: A♥K♥
Declan Rice: K♣8♣

Docherty rivered the nuts against Rice’s turned two pair. He now has a six-to-one chip lead, with Rice being left with only eight big blinds. Rice finished as runner-up a short time later for €228,700.

WPT Global, the official online poker site of the World Poker Tour (WPT), launched a trio of Sunday Majors a fortnight ago, and it is safe to say that they are ridiculous value for tournament grinders. Not only do they come with juicy guaranteed prize pools, but the $110 buy-in $50,000 guaranteed Sunday Slam has sported significant overlays during its first two weeks on the site.

“upfast44” took down the inaugural Sunday Slam after it by $20,000! The champion turned their $110 investment into an impressive $15,201, which included $3,737 worth of bounty payments, as the Sunday Slam is an exciting PKO event. With bounties included, nobody at the eight-handed final table took home less than $2,132, which is not a bad day at the office for only a few hours’ “work.”

Last week, on April 9, the $50,000 Sunday Slam attracted a larger crowd of 398 entries, but that still meant an overlay of more than $10,000. “淡墨如烟” was the main beneficiary of WPT Global making up the prize pool’s shortfall because they headed into the night with the title of champion and a cool $11,914 to show for their efforts.

It isn’t only the $110 buy-in $50,000 guaranteed Sunday Slam that has WPT Global tournament players tingling with excitement, but the other two Sunday Majors, too. Costing $330 and guaranteeing $20,000 is the Grand Slam, while the Mini Slam may only command an $11 buy-in, but the kind folks at WPT Global have set the guarantee at $8,888! Last weekend’s Mini Slam winner padded their WPT Global account with almost $2,200, which for an $11 investment is mightily impressive, to say the least.

Don’t forget that if anyone manages to win all three of the aforementioned Sunday Majors within a 30-day period, WPT Global awards them $100,000!

Aaron “abarone68” Barone started a poker stream on March 15, 2021. Little did he know back then that one day he would become a member of the 888poker Streamteam. Indeed, online poker giant 888poker added Barone to its star-studded Streamteam roster exactly two years to the day that Barone first fired up his personal Twitch channel. Funny how things work out.

Barone joins an elite cast of seasoned poker streamers, including such luminaries as Jordan Banfield, Nick Eastwood, Ricardo Mateus, Adam Tocholke, Josh Manley, and Andrei Cosmin, who produce stellar content for their personal channels and the ever-popular official 888poker Twitch channel.

Always a Fierce Competitor

Like many, Barone discovered poker playing around the kitchen table with friends. It wasn’t the money that initially drove Barone to develop his skills, as he exclusively revealed to PokerNews.

“I started off playing live poker with friends around the kitchen table. I was awfully competitive and one of the main reasons I put a lot of effort into my game wasn’t to make money, but to beat one friend of mine in particular. I couldn’t stand the smug look on his face when he dragged pots, and I knew there’d be less of it if I was the one with all the chips!”

“Eventually, I became the best player in our home game, and in a quest to see how good I truly was, I deposited $100 online. From there, I discovered SNGs, built up a bankroll, went pro in 2008, switched to 3-Max Bounty Jackpots when SNG traffic dwindled, and then ultimately moved to MTTs.”

888poker officially announced Barone’s arrival on March 15, but the talkative pro put pen to paper a week earlier, something he struggled to keep under wraps.

“There was a week between when I signed for 888poker and the announcement itself, during which I was supposed to keep quiet about the deal. For those who know me, keeping quiet isn’t exactly one of my strong suits! So, when I finally got to share the news on stream, it felt great. But now I’m excited to show 888poker and the community that I belong.”

First Day “Binkage!”

One way to show that you belong among a cast of seasoned poker streamers is to let your poker do the talking, which is exactly what Barone did.

With the ink still fresh on his 888poker contract, Barone jumped into the $4,500 Mystery Bounty 6-Max 55 tournament, a tournament that attacted 84 entrants. A little under 5.75 hours later, Barone was the last player standing, and recipient of $2,278, which included more than $1,600 in mystery bounties!

“I’ve been a huge fan of the Mystery Bounty format ever since 888poker added them to the daily schedule. Both the $55 and $109 have a ‘must-play’ designation in my spreadsheet, so there was no chance I was skipping either of them. But did I imagine binking one of them on the first day? No, definitely not. It didn’t even cross my mind that it could happen until we made the final two tables.”

Keeping a Bounty in Play in a Knockout Tournament at 888poker

What can fans of Barone and the 888poker Streamteam expect to see from Barone in the coming weeks and months? Barone already ran a superb “Mystery Egg” promotion where stream viewers had the chance to win a random prize hidden inside an Easter egg, so expect more Barone-exclusive promos coming your way.

“In addition to more 888poker-themed giveaways and promotions, I’m in the final stages of putting together a ‘3-Max Bounty Jackpot Blast Challenge.’ Not everyone can dedicate 6-12 hours a day required to play MTT poker, so formats with shorter run-times (i.e. Blasts) can help make poker more accessible and grow the game. I had two of my best years when grinding 3-Max Bounty Jackpot, which makes me think not only with the Blast Challenge be fun and educational but quite profitable.”
